Life

Marks was born in Queensland in 1900. Her parents had been born in the UK. Her mother Harriet Ann (born McGregor) was a Scot, and her father George Marks was from Cornwall. She was their first child and her parents returned to England between 1906 and 1910 but they then returned to Charters Towers, which is where she had been born. After local schooling she won a scholarship to study science at the University of Queensland's[1] newly opened Women's College. The college was founded in 1913 and it admitted its first women residents in 1914 under Freda Bage, the first principal.[2]

She was an admirer of the domestic science pioneer Marianne Helena Brydon[1] who had been the first Inspector of Women's Work from 1919 to 1932.[3] In 1943 Marks rejoined the Women's College as a senior tutor. She was the assistant to Freda Bage who was still there.[4]
