SPEAKER_00: Hello, from Wonder Media Network, I'm Jenny Kaplan, and this is Encyclopedia Wamanica. Today we're talking about one of the first South African writers to earn worldwide acclaim. She was a radical social commentator whose work helped to shape future women's movements. Let's talk about Olive Schreiner. Olive Emily Albertina Schreiner was born on March 24th, 1855 in Witbergen Cape Colony, which is now modern day South Africa. She didn't receive formal education, but her missionary mother strongly encouraged her to read a variety of books throughout her childhood. Olive became a governess and at age 19, started writing her first books. Those works were published after she moved to England in 1881. First, she published Story of an African Farm in 1883 under the pseudonym Ralph Iron.
SPEAKER_01: On the zinc roof of the great open wagon house, on the roofs of the art buildings that jutted from its side, the moonlight glinted with a quite peculiar brightness till it seemed that every ribbon in the metal was of burnished silver.
SPEAKER_00: The book was a hit throughout Europe and North America. Though Olive published under a different name, the story was deeply personal and semi-autobiographical. In Story of an African Farm, Olive wrote of a girl fighting to maintain her independence amidst the strict social roles typical of African colonizers. The book emphasizes unique feminist views about religion, individualism, and women's careers. These were some of the most topical issues of the time, and that propelled the book into notoriety and fame. Olive's radical tendencies extended beyond her political opinions. She disregarded the standards of appearance expected of women in the Victorian era, rejecting rigid undergarments, hats, and gloves. In 1889, Olive returned to South Africa and married a farmer politician. She kept her maiden name, which was also highly unusual at the time. Olive was a public voice against war and colonization in South Africa. After returning to the country, she wrote several articles and books attacking imperialism and prominent political figures, including Cecil John Rhodes during his time as prime minister of the Cape. In 1899, a war broke out between the English colonizers and the South Africans. Because of Olive's support of the Afrikaner plight, English troops burned her house down and sent her to a concentration camp for several years. In 1911, Olive published another acclaimed work called Woman and Labor. In this book, she asserted that the authority of men isn't actually innate, and that one day in the future, women and men will become true comrades and coworkers. Throughout her life, Olive published books with themes of anti-war, gender equality, and racial equality. She stood up for those affected by British imperialism. Olive passed away on December 11th, 1920 at age 65. Her husband published two of her novels posthumously, one called From Man to Man and another called Undine. Like the rest of her work, From Man to Man explores feminist themes. In the novel, the central character attempts to educate herself and her children about racist and sexist social structures of the era. Olive Shriner's work broke barriers throughout her career and is still worth studying today. Join us tomorrow for the story of Another Beautiful Mind.
