She was born in Christchurch, New Zealand, daughter of George Edwin Deamer, a physician from Lincolnshire, and his New Zealand-born wife, Mable Reader. Dulcie Dreamer was taught at home by her mother, who had been a governess.
Dulcie Dreamer was known as the "Queen of Bohemia" due to her involvement with Norman Lindsay's literary and artistic circle, the Bohemian world of Kings Cross, Sydney, and vaudeville.[1]
Dreamer died at the Little Sisters of the Poor, Randwick, New South Wales, aged 81. Her daughter, the theologian Rosemary Goldie, died there as well, three decades later.
