==Socialist activist==
Selma James (''née'' Deitch)〔Becky Gardiner, ("A Life in Writing: Selma James" ), ''The Guardian'', 8 June 2012.〕 was born in Brooklyn, New York City, in 1930. As a young woman she worked in factories and then as a full-time housewife and mother. At the age of 15 she joined the Johnson-Forest tendency, one of whose three leaders was C. L. R. James.
In 1952 she wrote the classic ''A Woman’s Place'', first published as a column in ''Correspondence'', a bi-weekly newspaper written and edited by its readers with an audience of mainly working-class people. Unusually at the time, the newspaper had pages dedicated to giving women, young people and Black people an autonomous voice. James was a regular columnist and edited the Women's Page. In 1955 she came to Britain to marry CLR James, who had been deported from the United States during the McCarthy period. They were together for 25 years and were close political colleagues.
From 1958 to 1962 James lived in Trinidad where, with C. L. R. James, she was active in the movement for West Indian independence and federation. Returning to Britain after independence, she became the first organising secretary of the Campaign Against Racial Discrimination in 1965, and a founding member of the Black Regional Action Movement and editor of its journal in 1969.
