Other women still dominate the fields of "domestic service, sales, and some light manufacturing".〔 Women of Afro-Trinidadian mix commonly become "heads of households", thus with acquired "autonomy and power". By participating in Trinidad and Tobago's version of the Carnival, Trinidadian and Tobagonian women demonstrate their "assertive sexuality". Some of them have also been active in so-called Afro-Christian sects and in running the "sou-sou informal rotating credit associations".〔 ==Notable women== Among the prominent women of Trinidad and Tobago are Elma Francois and Kamla Persad-Bissessar.
