Audrey Argall

Argall wrote fiction and poetry in her spare time. In 1931, she won a short-story competition run by the magazine Australian Woman's Mirror, with her entry Farewell Pioneer, an historical romance.^[5]

In 1932, Argall was invited to edit a new magazine, the New Zealand Woman's Weekly, which was launched in December of that year.^[6] She wrote articles for the magazine and edited it. The publishing company struggled with the venture, however, and it was sold to local politician Ellen Melville after a few months and then to Vernon Dyson, whose wife Hedda Dyson took over the editorship.^[1]

In 1968, Argall married William Glasgow in Auckland. She died in Auckland on 22 June 1981, and her body was cremated at Purewa Crematorium.^[7]
