What is Profiles in Diversity : Women in the New South Africa about?

A revealing oral history collection, __Profiles in Diversity__ contains in-depth interviews of twenty-six women in South Africa from different racial, class, and age backgrounds. Conducted in Johannesburg, Pretoria, Bloemfontein, Vryburg, Cape Town, Port Elizabeth, Grahamstown, Durban, and a rural section of Kwa-Zulu Natal, these life histories encompass diverse experiences ranging from a squatter in a township outside Cape Town to an ANC activist in Port Elizabeth, who lost three sons to the struggle for democracy and who herself was imprisoned several times during what many in South Africa now refer to as the "civil war."

Three young black students discuss the hardships they experienced in an unequal educational system as well as aspects of segregation in their childhood.

Nancy Charton, the first woman ordained as an Anglican
