additions:

Morrow was born in Geneva, New York. She attended Barnard College then studied classics as an undergraduate and graduate student at Columbia University in New York. She also studied Arabic and worked intensively on hieroglyphic texts for six years as a student of Egyptology.

Her second book, Wolves and Honey: a history of the natural world, is an exploratory memoir. Morrow covers many of her interests including theosophy, the Finger Lakes region, the start of Mormonism, and the lasting relationships humans have cultivated with the natural environment, and bee-keeping.

In her most recent book, The Dawning Moon of the Mind, Morrow argues that The Pyramid Texts are the “earliest body of written poetry and religious philosophy in the world”
