You Have Struck A Rock! commemorates the special contribution of South African women to the success of the anti-apartheid struggle. It recovers the remarkable "women's campaigns" of the 1950s against the hated pass system.

Yet they remain undaunted, demonstrating the South African proverb: "When you have touched a woman, you have struck a rock."
