Zulu Women : The Life and Story of Christina Sibiya

In 1934, American writer Rebecca Hourwich Reyher recorded the remarkable life story of Christina Sibiya, the first of sixty-five wives of the uncrowned king of the Zulus, Solomon kaDinuzulu. What Reyher faithfully took down, and then crafted into a moving narrative, is the riveting true story of a South African woman who entered life among the Zulu royal family and then, after enduring psychological and physical abuse, found the courage to leave.
