As a British colony, the Bahamas had slavery up until it was banned by the Slavery Abolition Act passed by the British Parliament in 1834. The abolition of slavery was a staged process which was completed by 1840.
The Bahamas is governed by an old Parliament Democracy with a Prime Minster as the head of the Executive Branch. Over 270 years of uninterrupted change in form of government, makes The Bahamas one of the most stable countries in the world. Prior to it's independence in 1973, The Commonwealth of The Bahamas was a British Colony.
The first woman to be elected to parliament in the Bahamas was Janet Bostwick. She achieved this milestone in 1977 when she won a seat in the House of Assembly. Bostwick's election marked a significant step forward for women's representation in Bahamian politics. She went on to have a notable political career, advocating for various social issues.
