About Marghanita Laski
Marghanita Laski was an English journalist, radio panellist and novelist. She also wrote literary biography, plays and short stories, and contributed about 250,000 additions to the Oxford English Dictionary. In just her first year alone, Laski contributed 8,600 slips. Laski was also one of the few individuals to receive a copy of that first volume of the Supplement even before its publication. Thus, Laski was, of course, mentioned in Burchfield’s first five-year report to the Oxford University Press (OUP) as one of the five outstanding figures who made significant input to the quotation files, in first place with 31,000 contributions.
