Olive Schreiner was the first 'modern' colonial writer from South Africa, and one of the most brilliant feminist writers in late-Victorian Britain. Born in 1855 to missionary parents in colonial South Africa, she passionately refused both Empire and God, as well as the gender roles of Victorian society. Her narrative, The Story of an African Farm, struck well with the hearts of the intellectuals who had concerns about. the great changes unfolding from the growing capitalistic society. This paper principally endeavors to analyze how Waldo's tale in The Story of an African Farm expresses the traumatic discovery that there is no God on the African Farm and how Lyndall's tale elaborates the New Woman dispute in the current allegory of oppressed womankind. Though represented in a farcical, rather sad and grim way, Waldo's father Otto, Boer woman Tant' Sannie, and the fraud Bonaparte Blenkins together illuminate the bleak image of fatherlessness of the farm and colony, the failure of patriarchy itself, and the decaying evangelical theology. Bonaparte symbolizes the oppressor of the colony and also the capriciously cruel Will under Schreiner's social Darwinism. In London, Schreiner joined The Men and Women's Club founded by Carl Pearson and expanded her concept of women's sexuality and labor. Throughout her life she sought to vindicate the oppressed free of any differences in class, race, and sex.
