A powerful biography shining a light on the incredible forgotten legacy of the BBC’s first Black female broadcaster
The forgotten legacy of an icon, brought to light for the first time.
Una Marson was a true trailblazer: she made history by becoming the first Black female broadcaster at the BBC and paved the way for Black women and the amplification of Black voices in the media. Despite all this, though, her story has been all but forgotten by history.
A journalist, poet, playwright, broadcaster and activist, Una Marson played a pivotal role in bringing Caribbean culture to audiences in the UK, smashing glass ceilings and fighting against the racism and misogyny she faced.
Marson was a fierce political activist throughout her life, and in this rigorously researched and deeply personal biography, the life and achievements of this extraordinary, complex and multifaceted person will be told in full for the first time.
