The Commonwealth Caribbean has entered the twenty first century with constitutional reform firmly on regional and national agendas. We may be on the precipice of the most important wave of constitutional reform in the Caribbean since independence, and yet, while women and our concerns have only in a few instances featured in the debate, we do not appear to have a central place in the process and its outcomes so far. It is equally true that, for the most part, Caribbean women have concentrated their energies on changing ordinary legislation when laws and state practice compromise gender equality, not on constitutional reform and litigation. In this paper I will argue that the relationship of the constitutional reform process to the ‘woman question’ is both a site for the production and reproduction of gender relations and the articulation of the meaning of citizenship. I also will suggest that in the current contentious politics of gender in the Caribbean, engagement with this ongoing constitutional reform process, because of and in spite of its abstractness, can become valuable feminist practice.
