Beryl Agatha Gilroy (néeAnswick; 30 August 1924 – 4 April 2001)[1] was a Guyanese educator, novelist, ethno-psychotherapist, and poet. The Guardian described her as "one of Britain's most significant post-war Caribbean migrants."[2] She emigrated to London in 1951 as part of the Windrush generation to attend the University of London, then spend decades teaching, writing, and improving education.[3] She worked primarily with Black women and children as a psychotherapist and her children's books are lauded as some of the first representations of Black London.[4][5][6] She is perhaps best known as the first Black head teacher in London.[7][8]
