玛格丽特·布拉德伯里1927年7月15日出生在伊利诺伊州的芝加哥，父母是玛格丽特·布拉德伯里和杰拉尔德·布拉德伯里。她有一个兄弟姐妹，一个弟弟小杰拉尔德，有一个女儿贾里尔·里斯廷和一个儿子罗伯特。玛格丽特就读于芝加哥和伊利诺伊州埃文斯顿的公立学校。她的父亲是一名建筑师，在她很小的时候就去世了，但给她留下了对建筑的浓厚兴趣。Jarill Ristine(2010年12月4日)讲述了玛格丽特的父亲在玛格丽特11岁的时候去世了，我的父亲9岁。他被送到寄宿学校，而玛吉住在家里。。。当玛吉阿姨来拜访的时候。。。通常是圣诞节。。。我总是被迷住了。对我来说，她比生活更伟大，听起来美丽而令人兴奋。。。讲述关于特维嘉和她去过的地方的精彩故事。1947年，玛格丽特作为芝加哥自然历史博物馆(现在的菲尔德自然历史博物馆，FMNH)动物部的工作人员进入科学领域，为爬行动物学家罗伯特·F·英格(1954,1956)和卡尔·P·施密特(Karl P.Schmidt)，以及鱼类学家罗伯特·H·金泽(Robert H.Kanazawa，1952)和罗伦·P·伍兹(Loren P.Wood，1951年)提供插图。她为英格的菲律宾两栖动物(1954年)和伍兹的松鼠鱼属(1955；也是伍兹和索诺达，1973)绘制的两栖动物绘画展示了她早期的艺术技能。在FMNH的部分时间里，她被芝加哥的罗斯福学院[现在的大学]录取，当时是一所新成立的(1945年成立的)学院，致力于平等接受教育和进步事业。她于1955年获得动物学学士学位。1955年夏天，她在费城自然科学院的一次探险中在巴哈马采集鱼类，之后她进入斯坦福大学(SU)攻读研究生。DMC回忆说，玛格丽特说，在FMNH鱼类学家玛丽昂·格雷和罗伦·伍兹以及爬行动物学家卡尔·P·施密特的敦促下，她作为乔治·S·迈尔斯的学生进入了SU研究生课程。DMC第一次见到她是在Su的一次土耳其咖啡派对上，当时她还是一名研究生--这样的活动可能是她作为一名极其亲切的女主人招待源源不断的朋友、来访者和同事的生活的前奏。
M ARGARET (‘‘MAGGIE’’) BRADBURY was born in Chicago, Illinois on 15 July 1927 to Margaret and Gerald Bradbury. She had one sibling, a younger brother Gerald, Jr., who had a daughter Jarill Ristine and son Robert. Margaret attended public schools in Chicago and Evanston, Illinois. Her father, an architect, died when she was young, but left her with a great interest in architecture. Jarill Ristine (in litt., 4 Dec. 2010) relates that Margaret’s ‘‘father died when she was probably 11, my dad was 9. He was sent off to boarding school while Maggie lived at home . . . when Aunt Maggie [came] for a visit . . . usually Christmas . . . I was always enchanted. To me she was larger than life, beautiful and exciting to listen to . . . telling wonderful stories about Te Vega and places she had been.’’ In 1947 Margaret entered the field of science as Staff Artist of the Department of Zoology at the Chicago Natural History Museum (now Field Museum of Natural History, FMNH), providing illustrations for (among others) herpetologists Robert F. Inger (1954, 1956) and Karl P. Schmidt, and ichthyologists Robert H. Kanazawa (1952) and Loren P. Woods (Woods and Kanazawa, 1951). The amphibian drawings she did for Inger’s Philippine Amphibia (1954) and the squirrelfish genus Holocentrus for Woods (1955; also Woods and Sonoda, 1973) displayed her early artistic skills. During part of her years at FMNH, she was enrolled at Roosevelt College [now University] in Chicago, at that time a new (opened 1945) college dedicated to equal access to education and to progressive causes. She received her B.S. degree in Zoology in 1955. During the summer of 1955, she collected fishes in the Bahamas on an expedition of the Academy of Natural Sciences, Philadelphia, after which she matriculated as a graduate student at Stanford University (SU). DMC recalls Margaret saying that she entered the SU graduate program as a student of George S. Myers at the urging of FMNH ichthyologists Marion Grey and Loren Woods, and herpetologist Karl P. Schmidt. DMC first met her as a fellow graduate student at SU during one of her Turkish coffee parties—such events perhaps a prelude to a life as a supremely gracious hostess entertaining a constant stream of friends, visitors, and associates.
