Mentioned in passing on rasfw: from an article on author Evelyn Sibley Lampman

[james_davis_nicoll]

Who people here might know from such books as The Shy Stegosaurus of Cricket Creek.

In 1934, she married into what passed in those days for a celebrated literary family: her husband, Herbert Sheldon Lampman, was Fish & Wildlife editor for the Oregonian; his father, the theatrically-named Ben Hur Lampman, ran the Oregonian's editorial page and was our state's first Poet Laureate1. But writing, to that family, was man's work: After marriage, she left her job and was forbidden to drive; her new husband thought operating an automobile unseemly for a woman.

Providentially her husband then died, and she was free to pursue writing as a career (and presumably, also allowed to drive).
