Phyllis Shand Allfrey

Phyllis Byam Shand Allfrey (24 October 1908 – February 4, 1986) was a West Indian writer, socialist activist, newspaper editor and politician of the island of Dominica in the Caribbean. She is best known for her first novel, ''The Orchid House'' (1953), based on her own early life, which in 1991 was turned into a Channel 4 television miniseries in the United Kingdom.
==Early life and family background==

Born in Roseau, Dominica, West Indies, in 1908, she was the daughter of Francis Byam Berkeley Shand and Elfreda (née Nicholls), and was baptized Phyllis Byam.〔Anne Commire, Deborah Klezmer, ''Women in world history: a biographical encyclopedia'' vol. 1 (1999), p. 236〕 Her father's settler family was long established in Roseau. With roots in the West Indies going back to the 17th century, Phyllis later described herself as "a West Indian of over 300 years' standing, despite my pale face."〔Lizabeth Paravisini-Gebert, ''Phyllis Shand Allfrey: a Caribbean Life'' (Rutgers University Press, 1996), (p. 6 )〕
Her earliest ancestor in the West Indies was Lieutenant General William Byam, a Royalist officer who in 1644 defended Bridgwater against a parliamentary force. Imprisoned in the Tower of London, he was permitted to migrate to the West Indies. After the Restoration of King Charles II in 1660, he was granted estates in Antigua.〔Lizabeth Paravisini-Gebert, ''Introduction'' to Phyllis Shand Allfrey, ''The Orchid House'' (1996 edition), p, vi〕
