520 _a"The Petticoat Commando: Boer Women in Secret Service" by Johanna Brandt is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book focuses on the experiences of Boer women during the Anglo-Boer War, highlighting their roles and contributions to the conflict as they supported their men and navigated the challenges of living under martial law. The opening of the narrative sets the stage in Pretoria soon after the proclamation of martial law on October 11, 1899. It introduces the central characters, Mrs. van Warmelo and her daughter, Hansie, who are determined to support the Boer cause and maintain their home, Harmony, amidst the turmoil. The opening unfolds with details about their family, the war's impact on their lives, and the early onset of chaos as British troops advance. As the women prepare for the inevitable confrontation with the enemy and the loss of their homeland, a blend of patriotism and anxiety permeates their lives, indicating the emotional and physical struggles they will face.
