Relegated to marginalized spaces, these pioneering women fought for their claim to the spotlight amid oppressive conditions to help create and shape Jamaica's musical heritage."-Provided by publisher"--<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>As the ubiquitous Jamaican musician Bob Marley once famously sang, half the story has never been told.
