My Mother's Mother's Mother, by Pieta Van Beek; Van Nierkerk, is a hardcover in All Books, sku-430504679. The volume collects more than seventy South African women's voices from 1652 to the present, in Dutch and varieties of Afrikaans. Their stories range from joyful to gruesome and offer women's perspectives on South African history from colonization to democracy. The book also traces the late arrival of the printing press at the Cape and the further century before women's first publications appeared. Early works had a strong biblical influence; as educational opportunities improved, women produced Afrikaans literature of world stature.
