Olga Levinson was born in South Africa. She obtained a Bachelor of Arts degree at the University of the Witwatersrand and after her marriage to Jack Levinson, a businessman from Windhoek, moved in 1943 to Windhoek in what was then Southwest Africa. Her literary contributions to broadcasting, books and magazines brought her fame beyond Namibian borders. She wrote extensively, including the first English history account of the country, Story of Namibia, and was one of the first admirers and supporters of two of Namibias greatest artists, Adolph Jentsch, on whom she wrote a moving and authoritative book, Adolph Jentsch, and John Muafangejo whom she not only supported but wrote many introductions, catalogues and essays.
