This is no ordinary A to Z. With each letter of the alphabet this book honours the contribution of women to South Africa's past, present and future. Using short, easy to read biographies and illustrations that are as bright and bold as the women they depict, this book shares the life stories of 26 South African rebels, artists, troublemakers, athletes, dancing queens and freedom fighters. From Fatima Meer to Caster Semenya, Cissie Gool to Thuli Madonsela, this is a book about women who ask too many questions, who defy injustice, who refuse to "know their place". It is a celebration of the courage, determination and compassion of the activists, scientists and storytellers who have gone before us - as well as recognising the everyday heroism of ordinary South African women doing extraordinary things.

I was quite surpised at the prompt service from Exclusive books. The books from this author are exactly what I require and the complete guide far exceeds my expectations. Thank you very much
I am studying Zulu on the Duolingo platform and hoped this Zulu-English Dictionary would be a helpful resource to improve my Zulu vocabulary. Unfortunately not. Such a rich language cannot be captured in an alphabetical list of 30 x A5-pages. It is merely an introduction to isiZulu vocabulary. Maybe this was a university assignment. I can hardly use this dictionary version as a reference during my lessons. The Phrasebook is interesting and well arranged for specific topics.
