Written in the 1890s and published after her death by her husband, these essays describe South Africa’s landscape and many peoples, the history and character of the Boer, the problem of slavery, the Great Trek and the lives of Boer women, which Schreiner connects to the modern woman’s question. Her language about race is that of her time, though her sympathies were often ahead of it.
