the occasion, May's issue of RG Magazine features women at their best.

Fifty years after Bermudian women won the right to vote, senior writer Robin Zuill takes a look at how far women have come on the Island and the issues they face today -- abuse, harassment in the workplace and the ongoing battle against male chauvinism.

She also profiles five successful and outspoken women on where they feel Bermudian women stand today and Carol Parker previews a new book on Gladys Morrell, who founded the Bermuda suffragette movement in the 1920s.

Women also feature in our annual spring fashion spread. This season, styles are more feminine with a French accent and fashion photographer Marshall DeCouto captures this softer mood with a fresh and exciting series shot in some of Bermuda's most beautiful gardens.

May's RG also includes our annual marine section.

This year the Royal Bermuda Yacht Club celebrates its 150th anniversary and author Robin Trimingham describes the RBYC's early days in an excerpt from her forthcoming history of the club.

Marina Esplin-Jones takes a look at some of the new marine products on the market and Saltus student Roderick Ferguson tells what it was like to be an Argonaut on the Jason Project in Belize.

Elsewhere in the magazine, Steve Mundy goes California Drivin', Ruth Thomas and Anne Francis feature in First Impressions and in The Bermuda Factor, Roger Crombie gets the wrong number.

It's all in RG Magazine and it's only free in tomorrow's Royal Gazette.
