Abstract This essay is a brief reflection on the impacts of Rhoda Reddock's life and work for over forty years on the author's own academic journey to becoming an antiracist, Caribbean (socialist) feminist. It focuses on three dimensions—namely, an early definition of feminism, Reddock's attention to intersections of race and ethnicity, class, and gender in the Caribbean, including “douglarization”; and Caribbean women's (sexual) agency and autonomy. This constitutes only a tiny part of the powerful impact Rhoda Reddock has had on Caribbean feminism yet hopefully contributes to filling in a picture of her incredible legacy.
