Autorenporträt

Olive Schreiner (1855-1920) was a South African author, anti-war campaigner, and intellectual. Recognized as a pioneering feminist and social thinker, she gained most acclaim for her novel 'The Story of an African Farm' (1883), which brought her international recognition for its progressive ideas on women's independence and emancipation. Following this early success, Schreiner continued to write thought-provoking works including 'From Man to Man,' her unfinished novel published posthumously in 1926. The book delves into the internal lives of women, exploring themes of gender dynamics, self-awareness, and the quest for intellectual fulfillment, embodying her feminist ethos and literary style which melds realism with allegory. Schreiner's works are characterized by their lyrical prose, psychological depth, and a profound empathy for human suffering, which underscore her lifelong advocacy for human rights. She was an influential figure in the growing global discourse on gender and race equality of her time. Her eloquent letters and political writings also contribute to her legacy as a significant South African figure in the intersection of literature and social activism.
