Federation of South African Women
Definition
- The Federation of South African Women (FEDSAW) was founded in 1954 by two members of South Africa's Communist Party, Ray Alexander, a trade union leader, and Hilda Bernstein, a member of the Johannesburg City Council. Established as a broadly based multiracial women's organization focused on issues that affected women, it grew to become one of the most important anti-apartheid organizations in the middle part of the 20th century.
