There are conflicts regarding this author's birthdate and date. References are: TwainTimes web site, Partners in wonder: women and the birth of science fiction, 1926-1965, p. 399, by Eric Leif Davin (search the book for "Strange Awakening", and The Golden Age of Detection. The first two sources both claim her true name was Dorothy Quick, and that she was born in 1896 (day of birth from TwainTimes). The latter source claims her true name was Margaret Rogers Straub, and that she was born in 1900. It's quite clear that both sources are talking about the same person. We tentatively credit "Partners in Wonder" as the most authoritative source. Chavey 16:57, 9 July 2011 (UTC)
