Abstract
Women have been involved in the struggle for freedom in
South Africa for nearly one hundred years. African men and women
joined together to liberate themselves against a common enemy, the
state. The first five chapters of this paper will discuss women's role
within the society of South Africa and the liberation struggle of the
people before 1990, when de Klerk took over the office of President.
The final chapter will cover women's push for equality since that
time, including their role in the April 1994 elections. Black women
tended not to work independently for women's rights, instead, they
joined movements that worked towards freedom and independence
for everyone. In South Africa, women's role has not always been in
the spotlight nor has their participation always taken place in the
political sphere, but the women have helped shape the South Africa
of today and they will help lead the country to a brighter future.
