Christina was the youngest child in a highly talented family.  Christina was educated at home, where she was exposed to a rich literary environment. 

 She began writing at a young age, and her first published work appeared in 1850 under a pseudonym.  Goblin Market and Other Poems, established her as a significant poet of her time.

Christina faced several personal challenges, including health issues. She was diagnosed with Graves' disease in 1871, which affected her appearance and health. Despite her health problems, she continued to write and publish poetry.
