Book excerpt: "From Man to Man" is a feminist novel by the first South African-born novelist Olive Schreiner. The story tells of two white women, Rebekah and Bertie. They are sisters born into the racist and sexist society of mid-nineteenth-century South Africa. One of them remains in the Cape, marries, and has children. The other becomes a kept woman and a prostitute in London's East End. The novel's main question is, how far are marriage and prostitution apart in a world where women are valued mainly for their bodies?
