Shirley Jackson was born in California in 1916. At university in Syracuse, she met her husband Stanley Edgar Hyman, with whom she had four children. In 1948, she published her iconic short story 'The Lottery' in The New Yorker, sparking furious letters from readers.

She died suddenly in her sleep in 1965, aged 48.
