female wings in winds of Change


the hands that rock the cradle...

"The women of today are the thoughts of their mothers and grandmothers, embodied, and made alive. They are active, capable, determined and bound to win. They have one thousand generations back of them ... Millions of women, dead and gone are speaking through us today. "

Matilda Joslyn Gage editor:
National Citizen and Ballot Box- 1889

"In tribute to a phenomena sweeping Latin America and the Caribbean...precipitated by extraordinary circumstances catapulting female leaders into power..... "
Roi Kwabena

Recently elected in Chile: Her Excellency Michelle Bachelet.

In Jamaica we have seen the rise of the new Political leader of the ruling People's National Party's and now Prime Minister Hon. Portia Simpson Miller.

In Trinidad & Tobago, another historic moment as the Opposition party-United National Congress yesterday selected a woman to lead , as a result of the incarceration of their Opposition leader and former Prime Minister Hon. Basdeo Panday.


She is Opposition MP Kamla Persad-Bissessar.

As Attorney General she was Second in the Cabinet, 1996-99 Minister of Legal Affairs, 1999-2001 Minister of Education. She became the first woman ever in the country to act for the Prime Minister in September 2000 . In 2001 she was again appointed Attorney General, before the UNC regime rule was supplanted by a stalemate elections result.




the ancestors are manifesting the power of our mothers
who have strove over many centuries
