History
Audrey Yvonne Morris was a writer, civil servant, and one of the first women to receive undergraduate and Master’s degrees in Political Studies at the University of Toronto. She attended the university from 1948 to 1954, and lived in the women’s residence at Whitney Hall for the duration of her undergraduate degree. After completing her Master’s degree in 1954, she wrote her book about Susanna Moodie and Catherine Parr Traill entitled Gentle Pioneers: Five Nineteenth-Century Canadians, which was first serialized in Chatelaine Magazine before being published by Hodder & Stoughton in 1968.
As a young woman, Audrey lived and worked as a civil servant and speech writer in Ottawa before moving to Winnipeg, where she established her own consultancy, Morris Associates. She also worked as a ghost writer throughout her career.
