How does it feel to be a black woman in South Africa? Published in 1985, "Call Me Woman" details life during the past 50 years in South Africa. Like millions of black South Africans made strangers in the land of their birth, Ellen Kuzwayo has lost a great deal in her lifetime: the farm in the Orange Free State which had belonged to her family for nearly a hundred years; her hopes for a full and peaceful life for her children; even her own freedom, when, at the age of 63, she found herself detained under the so-called Terrorism Act for an offence never specified. But she has not lost her courage. • 🔖🔖🔖 Small Press Distribution is running a sale for Black History Month.
