Standard Name: Jameson, Storm
Birth Name: Margaret Ethel Jameson
Nickname: Daisy
Self-constructed Name: Storm Jameson
Pseudonym: James Hill
Pseudonym: William Lamb
SJ was a prolific novelist with an intense commitment to political causes, especially pacifism, anti-fascism, artistic freedom, and various women's issues. Her fiction is generally thought of as realist or materialist in its techniques, and often draws liberally on fact (from her own life, historical events, and characteristics of actual people), though she experimented with its shape and matter more often than has been recognised. She also wrote political and polemical non-fiction, journalism, essays, literary criticism, and autobiography.
