Caribbean women - black, white and brown, free and enslaved, migrants and creoles, rich and poor - are assembled in this book and their lives examined as they battled both against male domination and among themselves for social advantage. Hilary Beckles uses narrative biography to expose the gender order of Caribbean slave society as it determined and defined the everyday lives of women.
