wnl17. AAM Women’s Newsletter 17, Nov/Dec 1984

In 1984 South Africa’s townships rose in revolt, marking a new phase in the anti-apartheid struggle. The newsletter highlighted the role of women in the new militancy and sent solidarity greetings to the resurgent Federation of South African Women. A guest column by Glenys Kinnock argued that South African women were oppressed on the grounds of sex, class and colour and pledged to campaign among British women in response to their courage.
