Daughter of George Brookman and his wife Mary, Phyllis Harry grew up in North Adelaide and was educated at Creveen and at Woodlands. After leaving school she travelled widely. She married at the age of twenty and lived in India for four years. During the war years she helped to establish and run a railway canteen for troops passing through Raipur, acted as a stenographer/factotum in an army office, and edited a propaganda paper in Baroda.

Returning to Australia she worked as a secretary in a legal office, remarried and had three children.
