 Interesting interviews, poor editing August 18, 1999
The book features very interesting stories of South African women, but suffers from a lack of editing. The author continually interrupts each story to provide interpretation and background, which breaks the flow. Although the author's commentaries are needed, they could have been added at the end, to allow each woman tell her story uninterrupted. There are also so many stories featured, its hard for the reader to separate one from the other. The author also uses the apartheid-era race classifications to separate the book into sections, which is useful in some sense but its simplistic: its not that that easy to make a "cross section" of all women in South Africa.
