== Early life and career ==
Born in Carrollton, Mississippi, Spencer was valedictorian of her graduating class at J.Z. George High School. She earned her BA at Belhaven College in Jackson, Mississippi and a master's in literature at Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tennessee in 1943.
Spencer taught at the junior college level at Northwest Mississippi in Senatobia for two years before accepting a job with the ''Nashville Tennessean'', but she soon returned to teaching, this time at the University of Mississippi in Oxford. In 1953 she was awarded a Guggenheim Fellowship and left Mississippi to live in Italy and pursue writing full-time.
