Description
THIS ENGAGING PUBLICATION is a pioneering work at 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 to 1 that presents the experiences of ladies of all walks of life and portrays Grenadian society throughout the eyes of ladies estate workers, domestics, teachers, civil servants, doctors, lawyers, revolutionaries and politicians. It captures in riveting detail the tale of Grenadian women in its richness and complexity.
Extensive use of number one sources, estate records, Colonial Administrative center correspondence, church records and oral interviews provide a wealth of details about mortality, health and education, social members of the family, and economic realities over 2 hundred years.
