This issue contains a number of articles on (in two cases, by the subjects
themselves, and in another two cases by members of their family) several
prominent and pioneering women. These are personal stories that do not need
academic reviews. The Ida Chilembwe article speaks for itself.
Alison Cameron and Ankie Borgstein were ‘friends of Malawi’ who
came and fell in love with the country, despite the many barriers and tribulations,
and devoted their entire lives to Malawi. Maria Chidzanja Nkhoma was a
pioneering musician, artist, model, and broadcaster at a time when Malawi culture
frowned upon these careers for women. Sylvia Kambalametore was one of the
pioneers of physiotherapy in Malawi and remains in active service. Catherine
Chipembere, the widow of Henry Chipembere has been an activist, teacher and
politician in her own right.
