'The Story of an African Farm' was South African author Olive Schreiner's first published novel. It was an immediate success and has become recognised as one of the first feminist novels. The novel details the lives of three characters first as children and then as adults - Waldo Em and Lyndall - who live on a farm in the Karoo region of South Africa. The story is set in the middle- to late-19th century - the First Boer War is alluded to but not mentioned by name. The book is semi-autobiographical: in particular the two principal protagonists (Waldo and Lyndall) display strong similarities to Schreiner's life and philosophy. The book was first published in London under the pseudonym Ralph Iron. It quickly became a best-seller despite causing some controversy over its frank portrayal of freethought feminism premarital sex and pregnancy out of wedlock and transvestitism.
