On 26 September 1884, colonial forces fired on resisting workers at Zorg en Hoop. Janey Tetary, a Hindostani woman who helped mobilize other women in the resistance, was shot and killed along with six other laborers. Women had gathered stones, bottles, and clods of earth. Tetary’s role counters accounts that reduce plantation resistance to male action and shows how women defended their communities under contract labor.
