Special Announcement II – Schreiner Letters

Announcing Another New Collection of Schreiner Letters!

Dear Colleagues,

We at Whites Writing Whiteness are very pleased to announce another new collection of Olive Schreiner letters is now available. These letters come from the Winifred de Villiers Collection in the JS Gerlicke Library, University of Stellenbosch. As a keen supporter of women’s suffrage, the de Villiers collection includes correspondence by Olive Schreiner and Emily Hobhouse among others. There are just two Schreiner letters on Women’s Enfranchisement matters here – but what interesting letters they are! They also have the great benefit of adding to the picture given to other letters of the same period concerning Schreiner’s high profile role in the Cape Women’s Enfranchisement League.

Go to www.oliveschreiner.org and click on the ‘New Letters’ tab for more detail and the letters themselves.
