Sally Jenkinson
Sally Jenkinson grew up in Doncaster, and lives and works in Sheffield. She earwigs at bus stops, eavesdrops on bar stools, and generally spends her days in wide-eyed wonderment at the beautiful and terrifying minutiae of everyday life. Then she goes home and tries to write about it. Her story ‘Brown Rice’ features in Born in the 1980s.
Storm Jameson
Margaret Storm Jameson was born into a Whitby ship building family in 1891. She helped set up the Eikonoklasts, a discussion group she described as ’sceptics, unavowed anarchists, self-dedicated to the unmasking of hypocrites’.
As President of the English Centre of International PEN from 1938-1944, Jameson helped intellectuals escape from Nazi-occupied countries, and sponsored groups of refugee writers, work which began her lifelong interest in themes of exile. Her story ‘The Last Night’ features in Light Transports.
