    The WICP (1979-1982) was a ground-breaking female-centred research project by the University of The West Indies that sought to better understand the lived realities of women in the Anglophone region. The goal was to develop a multidisciplinary economic, historical and social research agenda that could provide policy recommendations to counter numerous problems that Caribbean women face - http://www.jstor.org/stable/27862837
