In other words, it was the men who had authority in society women were seen as subordinate to men. South African society (and this applies in varying degrees to all race groups) are conventionally patriarchal. The reason for this ‘invisibility' of women, calls for some explanation. Not only did most of these older books lean heavily towards white political development to the detriment of studies of the history and interaction of whites with other racial groups, but they also focused on the achievements of men (often on their military exploits or leadership ability) virtually leaving women out of South African history. Previously the history of women's political organization, their struggle for freedom from oppression, for community rights and, importantly, for gender equality, was largely ignored in history texts. Check-it out sometime.not sure if the "wife's" name was Kaylene, but the idea was the same.It is only over the last three or four decades that women's role in the history of South Africa has, belatedly, been given some recognition. OH, and a Special Note to "Kaylene1943": I'm not sure about an "Inner Sanctum" show that featured a "cat/woman" as you described, BUT one of the most famous Episodes of Arch Obler's "Lights Out" was called "Cat Wife" and had a scenario much like you stated. This is one of the All-TIme B-E-S-T Radio Series to ever hit the Airwaves.and if I could give it 6 Stars I would ! My favorites include: "Death For Sale" with Boris Karloff, "Terror By Night" starring Agnes Moorehead, and "The Corpse In The Cab" with Leon Janney as the Cab Driver. I used many of the "Inner Sanctum" shows on my syndicated Morning Feature "The Breakfast Serial" through the years.and the audiences loved each and everyone ! Hyman Brown's producing/directing of the show, that used the Opening Sound Effects of the "Creaking Door",that was actually in the basemnent to the Network, was a stroke of genius ! And, the addition of "Raymond" as the Host sealed the deal ! The "Inner Sanctum" Series was one of the most unique ever created in the early days of OTR.
