In No Uncertain Terms: MemoirsHelen Suzman was MP for Houghton in South Africa from 1953 until 1989. During that time, she used the forum of Parliament to speak out on behalf of equal justice for all human beings. Often, hers was the lone voice. For 13 years, she was the sole representative in Parliament of the Progressive Party. For six years, she was the only woman among 165 MPs. Her courage, dedication and debating skills earned her the respect of the outside world. She has received many honorary doctorates and awards at home and abroad. |
