Pequena biografia
Lady Margaret Sackville was born in London, England, the youngest child of Reginald Windsor Sackville, 7th Earl De La Warr and his wife The Hon. Constance Baillie-Cochrane. Vita Sackville-West was a cousin. She began to write poetry at an early age and at age 16 became a protegée of Wilfrid Scawen Blunt. Her early poems appeared in periodicals such as The English Review, The Nation, and The Spectator. She published her first book of poems, Floral Symphony, in 1900. She became the first president of the Poetry Society in 1912. She had a passionate 15-year affair with Ramsay MacDonald, later Prime Minister of Great Britain, recorded in letters they wrote to each other between 1913 and 1929. Under his influence she became a socialist and pacifist. At the outbreak of World War I, she joined the anti-war Union of Democratic Control. A collection of poems called The Pageant of War (1916), included "Nostra Culpa," which denounced mothers who did not speak out against the war. She was the first president of Scottish PEN and was elected a fellow of the Royal Society of Literature. After World War II, she produced several illustrated books in which poems are matched to pictures, including Lyrical Woodlands (1945) and Miniatures (1947).
