A couple of points edit
There is very little known about Marjorie Franklin. I could find nothing about her personal life and thoughts. This makes it difficult to properly place her in her historical context because I do not know about her social context. Take for example the difficulty she faced to get accepted into the Psychoanalytic society. This is known from correspondence between two other men. It would be very meaningful to know what she thought about this and what she herself did to get accepted. To really improve this page people should therefore look for her story in the archives held by Mulberry Bush. unfortunately, I cannot do this myself.
The sources I use are of varying quality and extensiveness. Nonetheless, I thought they provide a good enough picture for a Wikipedia article. I hope it serves as an incentive for others to pick up her story and improve this page.
Franklin's history is forgotten, but the sources I found hint at a very interesting and active person who knew a lot of psychologists featured in the history of psychology. People like Donald Winnicott, Grace Pailthorpe and possibly Sigmund Freud, Carl Jung and Doctor Otto Rank (as they were also involved early on with the Centre for Crime and Justice Studies.
