Dear George:
Here's a URL for a picture of her:
	http://www.spartacus.schoolnet.co.uk/WjamesonP.jpg
It 'twas [Margaret] Storm Jameson (1891-1986) ... a prolific novelist
and journalist/socialist/pcificst/feminist who-after being resurrected
by Virago Press in the early 80s-seems to have gone out of print finally
and for ever around the time of her death.
... a reference with which you can double-check me on the attribution
for this quote is "To See a World in a Grain of Sand", Caesar Johnson,
C.R. Gibson Company, 1972
... places where you can find some biographic info on Mrs. Jameson:

- Gorham, Deborah, "Vera Brittain: A Feminist Life" (Blackwell, 1996)
- Holsinger, M. Paul and Schofield, Mary Anne, Eds. "Visions of War:
  World War II In Popular Literature and Culture" (Bowling Green: The
  Popular Press, 1992) "A Cry For Life: Storm Jameson, Stevie Smith,
  and the Fate of Europe's Jews",pp.181-191.
