Anne Hope: The Struggle For Freedom

Drawing on unique access to Anne Hope’s diaries and prayer journals, Stephanie Kilroe has written an intimate biography of the inspirational activist and women’s movement leader. Anne was president of the lay Catholic community the Grail in South Africa during the nation’s struggle against apartheid, and part of the nucleus of the international Grail for many years. She was co-author and founder of the Grail’s classic Tools for Transformation books and programmes for community living and growth. This biography reveals the joys and challenges of Anne’s inner life: she was a deeply reflective, honest and faith-filled person, constantly struggling with herself, with her beloved church, with her call to love, with her profound resonance with nature and for South Africa’s conflicted post-apartheid realities.
