Jully Makini

Jully Makini, née Sipolo, was born around 1953 in Gizo, in the Western Province of the Solomon Islands. A graduate of the University of the South Pacific, she began to write after a women writers' workshop held in her country in 1980. An editor at the centre that this university had opened in the Solomon Islands, she brought together in 1983 the first anthology of writings by women of the archipelago. She has since put her voice at the service of women's rights, and of the fight against the violence done to them, even in the most isolated islands.
