"She was certainly not a Rosa Luxemborg" : a biography of Cissie Gool in images and words

This thesis, in both its written and filmed components explores the life of Cape politician and political activist Cissie Gool (1897-1963) against the backdrop oflocal, national and international politics as it impacted on her in both a direct and indirect way. Culled from oral and documentary sources, the historical Cissie is a representation based on memories, perceptions, biases and subjective agendas of not only the oral sources, but also the historian.
