The greatest of all our authors was Hilda Bernstein (1915-2006). Although the cause which she fought against was apartheid rather than the oppression of women, in the week of International Women's Day she must be celebrated as a woman of supreme courage and compassion. In the October Biannually we shall reprint some of the poetry she wrote while in prison in South Africa. We are deeply proud of all our books but The World that was Ours has a special place in our heart.
