Marian Storm

Born in Stormville, New York, Marian Isabel Storm was an American writer and journalist educated at Smith College, where she graduated in 1913. Early in her career she worked in editorial and reporting roles, including for The Countryside Magazine, the New York Evening Post, and later the New York Tribune.

Storm wrote across several genres, including essays, poetry, natural history, travel writing, and biography. She is associated with books such as Minstrel Weather, Prologue to Mexico, and The Life of Saint Rose. Sources also describe her as an advocate for animal rights and conservation, which fits the strong attention to landscape and living things found in her work.

She spent part of her later life in Mexico and died in Guadalajara on August 20, 1975. Some catalogs list her birth year uncertainly, but reliable biographical sources identify her as born on January 30, 1892.
