Not Either an Experimental Doll: The Separate Worlds of Three South African Women by Shula Marks is a poignant collection of letters that illuminates the intersecting lives of three women—two of them black—in apartheid-era South Africa.
The correspondence between Lily Moya, a Transkei schoolgirl; Mabel Palmer, a white academic; and Sibusisiwe Makhanya, a pioneering Zulu social worker, offers a rare glimpse into the complexities of race, gender, and education during this turbulent period. Edited by Shula Marks, the letters reveal the generosities and humiliations of white liberalism, the nature of mission education, and the socialization of black girls.
Not Either an Experimental Doll addresses the singular experiences of women and their interrelationships within the broader social structures that defined South African society.
