Caribbean Review of Gender Studies, 2017
Women’s political participation has been a key area of feminist activism in the region with women’s access to formal political power understood axiomatically as a resource which must be secured. The Caribbean’s boast of the Americas’ first elected woman head of government in 1980 and two women prime ministers serving simultaneously in Jamaica and Trinidad and Tobago suggest that the study of women’s political participation in the region should be of global interest. This timely volume returns to familiar Caribbean feminist territory by offering a feminist analysis of the state, breaking new ground in assessing feminist strategies of various kinds of state engagement. As a text which claims that its “aim was to gather original data that examined four feminist strategies to advance gender justice – women’s political leadership, national gender policies, electoral quota systems and transformational leadership”, the first chapter by editor Gabrielle Hosein disappoints as it reproduces biographical summaries of women political leaders in the Caribbean, the bulk of which are taken from Cynthia Barrow-Giles’ notable Women in Caribbean Leadership (2011). This shaky start notwithstanding, the collection resounds with the cutting voices and forceful analyses of notable Caribbean feminist activists whose reflections and thought are not frequently captured in scholarship make it a singular and delightful text.

Caribbean Review of Gender Studies , 2017
In this interview, Ronelle King, founder of the hashtag and organisation, #LifeInLeggings in Barbados, discusses her experiences in raising awareness and advocating for policy to end gender-based violence in the Caribbean. The interview focuses on her motivation to build awareness about sexual violence through a feminist consciousness, the reception she received by other Caribbean women and men and, last, her evaluation of social media as a tool for organising. King converted the momentum of #LifeInLeggings on social media into a young women-led organisation dedicated to policy change in Barbados. Her movement adds to the growing interest in cyberfeminisms in the Caribbean and to the longer study of social movements for gender justice in the region.
