Description of Women in Grenadian History, 1783-1983
This is a pioneering work on the experiences of Grenadian women over two centuries of British colonialism, "Gairyism" and socialist revolution. It moves away from a narrow approach of highlighting outstanding figures and revolutionary women to one that encompasses the experiences of women of all walks of life to present a picture of Grenadian society through the eyes of women estate workers, domestics, teachers, civil servants, doctors, lawyers, revolutionaries and politicians.
