Teachers for South Africa : New Zealand women at the South African War concentration camps
Description: "In 1902, as the South African War was nearing its end, twenty New Zealand women answered the call of the Empire and travelled to South Africa. There they taught in British concentration camps, which held over 130,000 Boer men, women and children. ... Drawing on the women's diaries, photographs and letters, Ellen Ellis follows their journey to South Africa, where they made new lives at the beginning of the new century. She brings together the women's voices to tell the story of this forgotten episode in our history."--Back cover.
