Sarah Gertrude Millin

Sarah Gertrude Millin was born on 19 March 1889 in Žagarė, in Lithuania, into a Jewish family that emigrated to South Africa a few months later. In 1894 her parents settled on the diamond diggings of the Vaal, near Kimberley, where her father kept a shop; this world nourished a large part of her work. Married in 1912 to the lawyer Philip Millin, later a judge of the Supreme Court, she lived in Johannesburg, published some twenty-five books, including a biography of Cecil Rhodes that is still authoritative, and in her last novels supported the policy of apartheid. She died in Johannesburg on 6 July 1968.
