“The Personal is Political”—Gender in the Context of Apartheid South Africa: A Look at Two Women Playwrights

Abstract

This article challenges the notion that race categories and divisions have been Apartheid's greatest crime. It suggests that such an approach hides the complex nature of intersecting struggle within one culturally constructed location—and denies the need to investigate gender oppressions. This article refers to Mhlophe and Pam-Grant as two playwrights who write from the personal to the political context and thus provide a complex microcosm of the broader South African context.
