Martha Foley (1897–1977) cofounded ''Story'' magazine in 1931 with her husband Whit Burnett. She achieved some celebrity by introducing notable authors through the magazine such as J. D. Salinger, Tennessee Williams and Richard Wright. In 1941 she became the series editor for The Best American Short Stories series. ==Childhood== She was born in Boston, Massachusetts, on March 21, 1897 to Walter and Margaret M. C. Foley. From 1909 to 1915 she attended Boston Girls' Latin School, and even then aspired to be a writer. The school magazine published her first short story, "Jabberwock," when she was eleven years old.〔〔 Her aspirations were present even before this. When she was seven both her parents fell ill, and were unable to care for her. She dealt with this by writing a novel about a fortunate girl who got to go to boarding school. At about this time she became an avid reader, escaping into fiction. It is surmised〔 that this laid the foundation for her later literary achievements, and when she developed an acute sympathy for the human condition.〔〔 After graduating from the 'Girls School' she attended Boston University but did not graduate.〔〔
