Barbara Joy Clement was born on Dec. 14, 1936, in Hermosa Beach, Calif., to Elmer and Helen Clement. Her father was a metallurgical engineer, and her mother was an office worker.
After graduating from San Jose State University in 1958 with a bachelor’s degree in education and English literature, she taught briefly in San Francisco, then went to New York in 1959 with, she said, vague ideas about becoming a writer.
