She was known for her work on human red cell antigens and for the genetic mapping of the human X chromosome.
She received her early education in New South Wales at three schools: Harleyville Ladies College (1924–1926), New England Girls school, Armidale (1926–1927), and Abbotsleigh Wahrounga (1928–35).
