Comment: Remarkable is the militant and socially-committed tone of this magazine, hosting a column by Una Marson, Gentlemen: No Admittance--Ladies Only and boldly declaring in the editorial statement: This is the age of woma: what man has done, women may do. Most contributors belonged to the Jamaica Poetry League led by Clare McFarlane, among these are women writers Amy Bailey, Eva Nicholas, Mary Adella Wolcott, Albinia Catherine Hutton (daughter of Scottish poet William Shand Daniel), Constance Hollar, Vivian Virtue.
