An important layer of the history of Jamaica is embodied in the history of women. Traditionally submerged and therefore rendered 'invisible", women's history is increasingly being researched and presented, providing a new and deeper dimension of understanding of the nation's heritage. The documents contained in this booklet provides for students in particular, and for the women's movement more broadly, insights into the diverse experiences and opinions of women in Jamaica in the early twentieth century. Their views on their condition and position, on the nature of the society in which they lived, the ways in which they sought to influence the realities which they faced, raise many issues and provoke analysis on how women's lives and outlook were shaped by class, race, gender, and nationality.
