Una Marson (1905-1965) was the BBC's first black female employee throughout WW2. Born in St. Elizabeth, Jamaica, in 1928 she became Jamaica's first female editor and publisher of her own magazine, The Cosmopolitan. The Cosmopolitan featured articles on feminist topics, local social issues and workers' rights and was aimed at a young, middle-class Jamaican audience. In 1931, she wrote her first play, At What a Price, about a Jamaican girl who moves from the country into the city of Kingston to work as a stenographer and falls in love with her white male boss. The play opened in Jamaica and later London to critical acclaim. In 1932, she decided to go to London to find a broader audience for her work and to experience life outside of Jamaica.

In England, Una experienced sexism and racism first-hand and was compelled to write about her experiences. In 1941, she was hired by the BBC Empire Service to work on the programme Calling the West Indies, in which WW2 soldiers would have their messages read on the radio to their families, becoming the producer of the programme by 1942. During the same year, Marson turned the programme into Caribbean Voices, as a forum in which Caribbean literary work was read over the radio. Through this show, Marson met people such as Vic Reid, Andrew Salkey, Langston Hughes, Jomo Kenyatta, Haile Selassie, Marcus and Amy Garvey, Nancy Cunard, Sylvia Pankhurst, Paul Robeson, T.S. Eliot and George Orwell (author of Animal Farm). Orwell helped Marson edit the programme before she turned it into Caribbean Voices. Her involvement with Caribbean Voices was important to publicising Caribbean literature internationally, as well as spurring nationalism within the Caribbean islands that she represented.
