South African women’s political activism against apartheid is the focus of this special edition of the South African Historical Journal. This edition is timely as it will commemorate the 70th anniversaries of significant moments and social movements in South African women’s history, including the founding of the Federation of South African Women (FEDSAW) in 1954, the founding of the Black Sash of South Africa in 1955, and the Women’s March on Pretoria in 1956.
H-Women's purpose is to enable historians more easily to discuss research interests, teaching methods, and the state of the field and historiography of women's studies. H-Women is especially interested in methods of teaching history to graduate and undergraduate students in diverse settings.

Proximity to power, access to professional networks, and acquisition of insider knowledge has come to define the “intangible things” unpaid internships claim to offer students—whether in the public service or in proliferating private internship programs. This paper locates the origins of the modern, private white-collar internship in the growth of the New Deal
Greetings. I'm curious if anyone has some additional knowledge about how the British Empire set about organising itself - and about New Zealand's Treaty of Waitangi in 1840 which was the first where indigenous people co-signed an agreement with the Crown.
In particular, I'm curious if - when there were other treaties that included the voices/signatures of indigenous peoples - there were women leaders involved as there was with New Zealand?
