British Honduras became
Belize in 1954 when it began re

optimistic that the change of

the election results.

The women’s movement has
been a significant part of our

ed many rights in our life time
and continue to struggle for
equality. Even St. Andrews has
changed and grown from the
movement, incorporating
women administrators and
faculty as well as sending many
confident, capable women into
the professional working world.
To continue keeping St. An

year ‘Women in Dialogue’
hopes to branch ^ and
become moP action-oriented.

with the campus as well as br
