Olive Schreiner and the Progress of Feminism explores two key areas: first, the debates taking place in England during the last two decades of the nineteenth century about the position of women; and, second, the volatile events of the 1890s in South Africa, which culminated in war between the British Empire and the Boer republics in 1899. Through a detailed reading of the fictional and non-fictional writing of one extraordinary woman, Olive Schreiner, it traces the complex relations between gender and empire in a modernizing world.

"From Man to Man" is a feminist novel by the first South African-born novelist Olive Schreiner. The story tells of two white women, Rebekah and Bertie. They are sisters born into the racist and sexist society of mid-nineteenth-century South Africa. One of them remains in the Cape, marries, and has children. The other becomes a kept woman and a prostitute in London's East End. The novel's main question is, how far are marriage and prostitution apart in a world where women are valued mainly for their bodies?
