Early Life
Morgan was born in Perth, Western Australia, the eldest of five children. As a child, Morgan became aware that she was different from other children at her school, because of her non-white physical appearance, and was frequently questioned by other students about her family background. She understood from her mother that her ancestors were from India. However, when Morgan was 15, she learnt that she and her sister were in fact of Aboriginal descent, from the Palku (or Bailgu) people of the Pilbara.
After leaving school, Morgan commenced university. In 1972, she married Paul Morgan, a fellow student, and over the next decade she finished her studies and had three children. She also had a hard time in school due to the hate of teachers, but she loved her English teacher who read her the Pooh books. Sally felt she was similar to Winnie in many ways.

Famous quotes containing the words early and/or life:
““Never hug and kiss your children! Mother love may make your children’s infancy unhappy and prevent them from pursuing a career or getting married!” That’s total hogwash, of course. But it shows on extreme example of what state-of-the-art “scientific” parenting was supposed to be in early twentieth-century America. After all, that was the heyday of efficiency experts, time-and-motion studies, and the like.”
—Lawrence Kutner (20th century)
“I hold all human life dearly, Stearne, especially my own.”
—Michael Reeves (1945–1969)
