The focus of this study is on the experiences of Haitian women and power from 1946 to 1990 in the Haitian political sphere, where men have always been de facto holders of power. Most of the data for this research was collected during the 1993 year in Haiti and New York through questionnaires and structured interviews. The participants were ten women, of the top ranking national political figures including: one head of State, five cabinet ministers, one senator and three mayors.
