Summary

Margaret Hodge was born in Adelaide in 1918. She subsequently moved to a Western Australian jarrah timber camp where her father was a teacher in a two roomed school. After his death, when she was nine, Hodge and her mother returned to Adelaide to live with relatives. She attended Presbyterian Girls' School (now Seymour College) on a scholarship. Here she was particularly influenced by two of her teachers - in English and current affairs. On leaving school she taught at the Wilderness School. She married Scott Hodge in 1940, and had four children, including one who was born with spina bifida. Hodge joined the Lyceum Club in 1971 and has served in a number of official capacities over the years.
