Margaret Gibson was a Canadian novelist and short story writer who lived in Toronto, Ontario. Gibson began writing in the early 1970s to document her struggle with mental illness. Biographical references are, however, in conflict as to whether Gibson suffered from schizophrenia or bipolar disorder. She died in 2006 of breast cancer, aged 57.
