In 2001 the question was posed as to whether Zimbabwe had a women’s movement. The author found herself asking instead whether given the current national context, what form and shape does a movement have to take in order to survive and deal with the challenges it faces while seizing opportunities to further the struggle for gender justice? Thus her aim became twofold, to capture the herstory of women’s organising in Zimbabwe in the period 1995 – 2000 and through this process I sought to develop an analytical understanding, to theorise the movement and its understanding of itself as ‘weak’.
