She is best remembered today for her novel The Story of an African Farm 1883 which has been highly acclaimed as one of the first feminist novels. It tells the story of a girl on an isolated farm on the veld who struggles for her independence in the face of rigid Boer social conventions. in doing so it deals boldly with such contemporary issues as agnosticism existential independence individualism the professional aspirations of women and the elemental nature of life on the colonial frontier. Since the late 20th century scholars have also credited Schreiner as an advocate for the Afrikaners and other South African groups who were excluded from political power for decades such as indigenous Blacks Jews and Indians. Although she showed interest in socialism pacifism vegetarianism and feminism amongst other topics her views escaped restrictive categorisations. Her published works and other surviving writings promote implicit values such as moderation friendship and understanding amongst all peoples and avoid the pitfalls of political radicalism which she consciously eschewed. Called a lifelong freethinker she also continued to adhere to the spirit of the Christian Bible and developed a secular version of the worldview of her missionary parents with mystical elements.
