Jamaica's First Woman
The swearing in ceremony of Jamaica's first female prime minister, Portia Simpson Miller took place on Friday, 30th March. She is Jamaica's 7th prime minister, 60 years old and a Harvard graduate.
I found a webcast of the ceremony on the Jamaica Information Service site - proof that Jamaica is moving into the 21st Century. It's quite a momentous occasion for Jamaica and the Caribbean. As a matriarchical society, women in Jamaica have always played a large part in the life and growth of the country. 70% of university students in Jamaica are women, and close to 50% of the workforce is female.
Have a read through some of the articles written on the event:
Portia even has a Wikki entry!
Well done.
