BiographyHistory

Constance McAdam was born near Glasgow in Scotland and moved with her family to Dunedin, New Zealand at the age of seven. She was educated at the Girls' High School, Dunedin and began writing poetry for the Witness (Otago). Her first paid literary effort was a short story published in the Dunedin Star.

McAdam moved to Sydney in September 1898 and continued her career in literature and journalism. She contributed to Australian and English newspapers. On the 1949 Queensland Electoral Roll, she is listed as living in South Brisbane.
