Excerpt: Una Maud Victoria Marson (5 May 1905 - 1965) was a Jamaican feminist, activist and writer, producing poems, plays and programmes for the BBC. Marson traveled to London in 1932 and worked for the BBC during World War II. Una Marson was born on February 6, 1905, in Santa Cruz, Jamaica, in the parish of St. Elizabeth. She was the youngest of six children of Reverend Soloman Isaac, a Baptist parson, and Ada Marson.

In 1926, she was appointed assistant editor of the Jamaican political journal, Jamaica Critic.

The Cosmopolitan featured articles on feminist topics, local social issues and workers' rights and was aimed at a young, middle class Jamaican audience. Marson's articles encouraged women to join the work force and to become politically active. The magazine also featured Jamaican poetry and literature from Marson's fellow members of the Jamaican Poetry League, started by Clare Macfarlane. In 1930, Marson published her
