註釋Drawing on communications ërescuedí from the shredders in the last days of Rhodesia, enlivened by photographs and memories ñ both her own and those of her colleagues ñ Maia Chenaux-Repond tells the story of her work as the Provincial Community Developpment Officer (Women) for Mashonaland and South in the Ministry of Internal Affairs in the 1970s. There are no records whatsoever in the National Archives of Zimbabwe about the Community Development Section (Women), even though it was active in all the provinces. In the absence of other documentary sources, and all other provincial officers long having emigrated or died, this account of her work fills a significant gap in the pre-independence history of Zimbabwe. he crucial focus of the Womenís Section on improving the lives and skills of women in the rural areas became progressively more difficult when the civil war intensified from the early 1970 as rural people ñ and the development workers themselves ñ were moved into ëProtected Villagesí, and as the Ministry became increasingly militarized.
