This remarkable memoir gives insight into the life of an ordinary woman who lived an extraordinary life: Ray Alexander Simons was a Jew, a feminist, a leading communist, and a trade unionist stalwart in the liberation movement in South Africa, as well as partner of Jack Simons for more than 54 years. The book spans her entire life and details her tireless struggle for freedom from racial domination, as well as the harsh relationship between her personal and political lives.
