It is hard to think of any writer in the past half a century who has displayed such range. She has involved herself in a world of vital issues ranging from colonial oppression in South Africa, to the recurrent threat of nuclear holocaust, women's movement, radical politics, apartheid, dream, madness, prophecy, the complex relation between man and woman and philosophies ranging from Marxism to Sufism. Unchanged for several decades they attack compartmentalized thinking and strive towards a vision of one. In doing so her work has embraced all tensions and disorientations that has marked the post war world, which has made her writing nationally and internationally relevant.
