Marjorie was born in Melbourne, and studied literature at the University of Melbourne from 1939 and graduated with a Bachelor of Arts.

Pizer began her working life as a clerk in the public service. She met and married the poet Muir Holburn (q.v.) and they left for Sydney, where they became members of the Communist Party (until the invasion of Hungary).
