| Summary | "A Woman's Part in a Revolution" by Natalie Harris Hammond is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The narrative unfolds through the experiences of the author, detailing the political unrest and personal tribulations faced during the Johannesburg Revolt. The story centers on the relationship between the author and her husband, John Hays Hammond, as they navigate the conflict and its implications for their family and community. At the start of the book, the author describes a serene moment in her home that quickly shifts as political tensions rise with the arrival of a letter from her husband, warning her of imminent danger in Johannesburg. The narrative introduces the discontent among the Uitlanders, the oppressive conditions faced under Boer governance, and the steps being taken by citizens to assert their rights. As the political kettle simmers to a boil, the author reflects on her fears and responsibility towards her husband and their household amidst the growing crisis. The opening effectively sets a tone of impending turmoil, blending the personal with broader historical events as it explores themes of sacrifice, loyalty, and the role of women during times of revolution.
