Loretta Butler-Turner, after she moved from Grand Bahama back to New Providence quickly became a strong force within the Free National Movement party.

Indeed, she was well on the pathway to become the first female Prime Minister of The Bahamas.
I know quite a bit about her. During the years and , we interacted often regarding politics. Prior to that she was a beloved inspiration to my mother and the other women of the Montagu Constituency.
Even after she no longer represented them in the House of Assembly, she continued to reach out to them on special occasions. My mother was a staunch supporter of the Progressive Liberal Party; but she told me often and fervently, “I like Milo Butler’s grand-daughter”.
