The league has been at the forefront of the nation's century-long transition from an authoritarian state to a democracy that espouses gender equality as a core constitutional value. It has, indeed, always regarded itself as the women's movement, frequently asserting its primacy as a vanguard organization and as \u003ci\u003ethe\u003c\/i\u003e only legitimate voice of the women of South Africa. But, as this deeply insightful book shows, the history of the league is a more complicated affair-it was neither the only women's organization in the political field nor an easy ally for South African feminism.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eShireen Hassim\u003c\/b\u003e is a professor in political studies at the University of the Witwatersrand and a widely published author in the field of gender politics in South Africa.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 160\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.34 x 7 x 4.37 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e January 12, 2015\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47510224634077,"sku":"9780821421567","price":43.09,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0811\/9867\/8237\/files\/bEdWZlZIa1JKQ281TkNuOHNPcFRoUT09_2ddb4d1d-3de7-4229-9cf1-7d42cf4ce554.webp?v=1772122783","url":"https:\/\/handfulofbooks.com\/products\/the-anc-womens-league-sex-gender-and-politics-paperback-1","provider":"Handful of Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
