Preferred term

Winnie Mandela  

Definition

  • Winnie Mandela, often referred to as a woman warrior and sometimes the Mother of the Nation (South Africa), was an anchor of the anti-apartheid movement, keeper of Nelson Mandela's name, and a tireless worker to bring social justice and freedom to blacks in South Africa. As the spouse of Nelson Mandela, a freedom fighter jailed for 27 years, she not only upheld his name and his work, she never stopped trying to get him released from prison. [Source: Encyclopedia of Activism and Social Justice; Mandela, Winnie (1936–)]
