She attended Queen\u2019s University and Radcliffe\/Harvard, and worked as a mathematician in Montreal during World War II. With her historian husband, she taught and raised five children in the U.S.\u2014and came to the family camp on Lake Superior every summer.

Her work has appeared in literary journals and anthologies in the U.S. and Canada, been nominated for a Pushcart Prize and a National Magazine Award, and received support from the Ontario Arts Council.
