The Canadian-American author Margaret Ellis Millar, born Sturm, grew up in Kitchener, Ontario. She attended Kitchener-Waterloo Collegiate Institute 1929–1933 and went on to study at the University of Toronto until 1936. In 1938, she married Kenneth Millar whom she had met at college in Ontario. He was the editor of the school magazine The Grumbler, which published her first short story. He encouraged her to continue to write and would himself become a major crime writer under the pseudonym Ross Macdonald. Margaret Millar’s first short story and a short story by her husband that was printed in the same issue of the magazine were later published in a volume entitled Early Millar (1982).
