Mamphela Ramphele
"What gives [this memoir] special power is not only the political
freedom story, but her honesty about her failures and her fury and
her survivor guilt. There's deep commitment here, but not
martyrdom... women everywhere will recognize her conflicts about
her roles as mother, academic, political activist, lover, and
friend." --Booklist "Across Boundaries is an autobiography that
captures both a unique heart and a nation's history. No matter
where or how each of us lives, Across Boundaries gives us a rare
leader who teaches us to teach ourselves." --Gloria Steinem
"Stunningly moving and inspiring." --Marian Wright Edelman,
president of the Children's Defense Fund "Using adversity to
advance the cause of freedom and justice, Mamphela Ramphele created
an oasis of humanity and dignity in a wilderness of despair and
oppression... This is [her] riveting testimony told in her
inimitable way." --Archbishop Desmond Tutu "Ramphele's life and
work are illustrative of her indomitable spirit. She makes life
better for all who know her and for many others as well." --Frank
Thomas, President, Ford Foundation, 1982-1996
