Anne Hope (12 February 1920 – 26 December 2015) was a South African activist and a member of the Catholic women's organisation The Grail (women's movement). She worked closely with Steve Biko to introduce the methods of the Brazilian educator Paulo Freire in South Africa.[1] She met Freire at Harvard in 1969.[2] In 1971, at the invitation of Biko, she began running workshops on Freirean methods with the South African Students' Organisation (SASO).[3][4]
Together with her partner Sally Timmel she wrote the four volume Freirian training manual Training for Transformation which was widely used in the United Democratic Front and other progressive anti-apartheid organisations in the 1980s.[5]
