==Early years==
Born in Belém do Pará in the Amazonia part of Brazil, as Myriol Olga Gittens, eldest of six children of Frederick Morton Gittens and Jeanne Arsenne Borde. The family early returned to their home in Port of Spain, Trinidad, of which an ancestor, Pierre-Gustave-Louis Borde, had published a history in 1876.〔Pierre-Gustave-Louis Borde, ''Histoire de l'Ile de la Trinidad sous le Gouvernement Espagnol''. Paris: Maisonneuve et Cie, Libraires-Editeurs: 1876. Premiere partie (1498-1622), Dieuxieme partie (1622-1798). English transl.: ''The History of the Island of Trinidad under the Spanish Government'', 2 vol. Port of Spain, Trinidad & Tobago. Paria Publishing Co., Ltd.: 1982. 1797 was the year the English took Trinidad from Spain. Borde’s texts are still cited by scholars—sometimes in terms of his comments on Carnival, Afro-Carib and French-Carib dance. Maynard' s mother was born in Normandy and her father in Barbados.〕 Precociously active in the burgeoning literary and arts scene of that city during the 1930s and 1940s, she published journalism, poetry, fiction and criticism in periodicals, notably the Trinidad Guardian newspaper. She married at nineteen and had four sons with two husbands, including future novelist Leonard Wibberley. She joined Wibberley in New York City in 1943.〔The Pan American Airways flight of the Boeing 314A "Capetown Clipper" that bore them originated in Foynes, Ireland, with European diplomats bound for the UNRRA founding conference and signing. Among these was Jan Kwapiński, Deputy Premier of the Polish government-in-exile.〕
