		Gottlob Schreiner's failures in mission work as well as a number of businesses prompted chronic financial insecurity, catalyzing the family's disarray, eventual disunion and, significantly, Schreiner's separation from her parents at the age of twelve.
		Chapman and Hall's acceptance of the novel in 1883 marked a landmark in Schreiner's career as a novelist and later, as a social activist.
		Regardless of such critical discourse, Schreiner's life and writing provide invaluable exposure to both the latter stages of the colonialist movement in South Africa and one vigilant woman's discourse, however ambivalent, against late nineteenth-century, early twentieth-century imperialism, war, and oppression of women.

		However, as a pacifist, Schreiner was unwilling to give her full support to the armed rising that led to the Boer War in 1899.
		Although Schreiner was disappointed with the book, it was immediately acclaimed as an important statement on feminism and had a major influence on a large number of young women.
		A strong supporter of universal suffrage, Schreiner argued that the vote was "a weapon, by which the weak may be able to defend themselves against the strong, the poor against the weak".
