From the back cover:

“This uniquely South African story is written by Mary Burton, who served as national president of the Black Sash for several years and later became one of the Truth and Reconciliation commissioners. Writing from an insider’s perspective, she offers insight into what motivated this remarkable group of women, what it was like to be part of their work, and what lessons we can draw from the Black Sash’s history.”
