Nadine Gordimer
By: Caroline Brodeur
Background
Significance
Gordimer, when asked what her proudest moment was, answered that it was when she testified at the Delmas trial, saving 22 members of the ANC from accusations of treason. She became so well known for her anti apartheid support that when Mandela was finally freed, she was one of the first people he wished to see.
