At sixteen, she won an international essay contest sponsored by The New York Herald Tribune, which took her to the U.S.A. and Ghana and led to foreign ventures into the study of literature and language (a Smith College alumna, she received a Ph.D. from Duquesne University for a dissertation on Rider Haggard). She is married to Carl I. Hammer, a retired businessman and historian, and has spent many years teaching English as a Second Language in Pittsburgh PA, where the couple brought up their daughter, Jóhanna, and still reside.view less
