- Summary:
- "Amy Bailey and May Farquharson began making history in Jamaica in the 1930s -- and continued to do so. One, the daughter of teachers in rural Jamaica, the other the daughter of privileged white plantocracy, they dared to challenge the establishment. Together, over sixty years of friendship, they fought undaunted to overcome barriers of colour and class, and won civil rights for Jamaicans regardless of race or gender."--Container.
