G<\/em>\"\"uerrillas and Combative Mothers<\/em> is a narrative of women participating in the armed struggle against apartheid from 1961 to 1994 and their lives in a democratic South Africa. Focusing on their agency, commitment, beliefs and actions, it describes how women got politicized and the decisions and circumstances that led them to join the armed struggle in South Africa and exile.<\/p>\n

Siphokazi Magadla\u00a0discusses the forms of military training they received, the combat activities and their transformation as women and soldiers. Magadla also talks about their\u00a0<\/strong>participation in the South African National Defence Force-led demobilization\u00a0process and their contributions to the democratic transformation of the SANDF. By illuminating the different eras and arenas of their participation, this book shows the broadness of the armed struggle against apartheid as a historical truth and as a matter of gender equality and justice for an inclusive and more democratic future.<\/p>\n\n
