- "On August 9th 1956, twenty thousand women marched on Pretoria in opposition to the extension of the pass system to women. IDAF has produced this book, in cooperation with the United Nations Centre Against Apartheid, as a tribute to the women of South Africa and Namibia on the occasion of the 25th anniversary ... The women in this book have played leading roles in the struggle for freedom ... and although many of them have suffered imprisonment, torture and banning they continue the fight for the liberation of their countries."--Cover.
