Bustamante, a prominent member of the Jamaican trade union movement, was affectionately known as "Lady B" by Jamaicans. She has been called the "Mother of the Nation" due to her relationship with many of Jamaica's founders.〔 Jamaican Prime Minister Bruce Golding has called Bustamante "an icon of political struggles" in Jamaica's march towards independence.〔 ==Early life== Bustamante was born out of wedlock as Gladys Maud Longbridge on 8 March 1912, in Parson Reid, Westmoreland Parish,〔 near Aston, to Frank Longbridge, a farmer, and Rebecca Blackwood, a housewife.〔 In her memoir, ''The Memoirs of Lady Bustamante'', she described her birth as a "welcome baby", ''"Being born out of wedlock was not a major issue in rural Jamaica then."'' 〔 〕 She was raised by her grandparents in rural Jamaica following her mother's move to Cuba when she was just 3 years old.〔 Longbridge enrolled in Ashton Primary School. She moved to Kingston with her aunt, and lived in the city's Jones Town neighborhood.〔 She enrolled at the Tutorial Secondary and Commercial College, a private secondary school, where she studied to be a secretary.〔
