The Haitian feminist movement has just celebrated its 100th anniversary: ​​an ideal opportunity to reflect on the reality of Haitian women, while integrating European, American and pan-African currents of thought. This book is built on the observation that Haiti and the Caribbean cannot do without new avenues of reflection in a context where the situation of women continues to deteriorate and where feminist achievements are constantly called into question or disqualified.

Research on gender and feminist thought will thus produce better analyses of the situation of those who, in the collective imagination, are still perceived as both guarantors of the well-being of others and second-class citizens. The result is a narrative articulated on a variety of subjects that develops an endogenous discourse replacing, we hope, the too often stereotyped foreign narratives.
