Reseña del libro "My Mother's Mother's Mother: South African Women's Writing from 17th-Century Dutch to Contemporary Afrikaans (en Inglés)"

The first of its kind, this volume collects more than seventy South African women's voices, from 1652 until today. We share the joys and sorrows of these women through their entertaining, sometimes disturbing texts. A testament to a significant segment of the linguistic and cultural history of the country, they speak in Dutch, then in different varieties of Afrikaans. The printing press arrived late at the Cape, and when it finally did, it took another century before the first publications by women appeared. Initially their writing bore a strong biblical influence, but gradually, as women began to have access to better educational opportunities, they began to produce literature of world stature in Afrikaans. Through this literature, we can see women's perspectives on the tumultuous history of South Africa from colonisation to democracy as it unfolded. This book is crucial for researchers of language development and historical texts by women. It is also indispensable for everyone interested in world literature and its development, particularly in South Africa.
