All My Life and All My Strength is the autobiography of Ray Alexander Simons, a major figure in South African resistance history.

Through their work, Ray and many other early South African trade unionists and Communists initiated a long history of struggle that helped entrench non-racialism in our constitution and South African public life.

This book gives a remarkable insight into an extraordinary woman who was a Jew, feminist, leading Communist, trade unionist, stalwart in the liberation movement in South Africa and partner of Jack Simons for over fifty-four years.
