using two or more adjectives in Spanish

using two or more adjectives in Spanish

I'm not sure what word order to use in Spanish when there are two or more adjectives. For example, what is the proper order of "Dominican Women Writers"?

Bad example for what you are asking.

Spanish can handle two of the words with one so it makes your question moot.

escritoras (women writers)

Escritoras dominicanas

Think up a better example that requires 2 adjectives.

Oops! We need a way to know that someone is writing an answer at the same time we are. Something akin to what you see in the chat room ...so and so is writing. (not a serious request. I know that it is impractical).

About that "jucy, succulent, delicious piece of meat"....Una jugosa, suculenta, deliciosa pieza de la carne.

I've got another example:

What if you're trying to say "juicy, succulent, delicious piece of meat"?

Well I think it would be "las escritoras dominicanas". I don't know why but it sounds better to me. But isn't this just one adjective?
