Abstract:This article explores the life, and the political activity, of anti-apartheid activist Helen Joseph. Largely ignored since her death in 1992, Joseph was a leading figure in the struggle against apartheid from the early 1950s until 1962, when she became the first person placed under house arrest in South Africa under the Sabotage Act. Beginning with a discussion of the way in which Joseph presented her political life in her autobiographical writings, the article considers what this political involvement meant to Joseph in personal and emotional terms, and explores the close and complex relationships that underlay her political commitment and activity. Notes, ref., sum. [Journal abstract]
