Mason was born in 1922 the daughter of Frieda Charlotte Manby Shaw and Charles Bertram Shaw.
She grew up in Karori, Wellington where she attended Karori School and Samuel Marsden College.
Mason met her husband, the playwright Bruce Mason, at Victoria University in 1940.
She had always wanted to be a doctor and attended Victoria University of Wellington followed by medical school at the University of Otago from where she graduated in 1945.
Mason's internship at Wellington Hospital during her final year at medical school sparked her interest in obstetrics.
They married in 1945 after Bruce returned to New Zealand from war service overseas and she had finished her medical degree.

She became Superintendent of the Alexandra Maternity Hospital and Home for Unmarried Mothers, a home for single mothers whose babies would be adopted out.
She held this position from 1958 to 1978.
Mason was opposed to abortion and was politically active in the anti-abortion movement in particular in the Society for the Protection of the Unborn Child (SPUC); she was SPUC's national president from 1974 to 1976.
She was one of several prominent New Zealanders, including Sir William Liley and Ruth Kirk, who headed an anti-abortion rally in Wellington in 1974.
In the 1977 Queen's Silver Jubilee and Birthday Honours, Mason was appointed an Officer of the Order of the British Empire, for services to the community.
In the late 1980s she became the second woman to hold the office of president of the Wellington division of the New Zealand Medical Association.
