Karen Jennings has published an article titled Washing by Hand: A Brief Look at Cape Laundry Since the 17th Century. The piece traces the evolution of laundry practices at the Cape, from enslaved women labouring in streams to the establishment of municipal laundries in the late 19th century. Jennings reflects on the connections between domestic labour, freedom, and Cape Town’s broader social history, linking her research to her recent flash fiction story, Panties, published in the anthology In Other Stories.
