New page

'''[[Miemie-Louw Theron]]''' (1898-1992) was an [[Afrikaans]] author and playwright.

Some sources insist on writing her name as [[Miemie Louw-Theron]] (i.e. her first name followed by the hyphenated maiden name and husband's surname). However, she apparently insisted that it be her hyphenated name and maiden name - as a single name - followed by her husband's surname.

Born [[Maria Catharina Elizabeth Louw]] on the farm Rietfontein in die Bethal district of the Transvaal on 25 July 1898, she was the youngest of six children.

She was initially home schooled, then attended the Hoogenhout Hoërskool in Bethal, and going on to qualify as a teacher at the [[Transvaalse Universiteitskollege]] in Pretoria. She taught Latin and Dutch at the Potchefstroom Hoër Meisieskool while completing an M.A. degree at the [[Potchefstroomse Universiteitskollege]] die M.A.-graad. In 1925 she met and married Pieter Francois Theron of the farm Uitvlug near Tulbagh in the Cape. The couple settled there and she kept herself occupied with raising their three children, being involved in community service and taking up writing as a career. She lived there for much of the rest of her life.

She passed away in Tulbagh in late September, 1992.

==Her contribution to South African theatre, film, media and performance==

Besides a large number of short stories and novels published between 1928 and 1975, she also wrote two full-length [[Afrikaans]] plays: ''[[Argentinië: Oos Wes, Tuis Bes]]'' (1938) and ''[[Die Verlore Dogter]]'' (1951).
