The Jamaican Woman: A Celebration has been updated! It is bigger and wider in its research, and even more beautiful. This new edition biographically illustrates the journey to excellence by some 300 outstanding Jamaican women. The research maps the journey over 100 years and points to the passion and determination of this special breed of women who have risen above the challenges of gender, race and a paternalistic society, to become leaders and outstanding role models, even beacons to the world. This significant history highlights the evolution of Jamaica's women from obscurity to high echelons in the arenas of Business, Politics, Visual and Performing Arts (Art, Music, Dance, Theatre, Architecture, Culinary), Cultural Ambassadors, Diplomatic Corps, Aviation, Sports, Science, Law, Law Enforcement, Education, Religion, Fashion and Beauty, High Academia, Communications, Literary, and Community Service. This book was originally published in 2001 and has received endorsements from across the world. - from Amzon
