Morrison was born in 1854 in Wheeling, Virginia, to Henry Westbrook and Martha Barratt.[2] By 1895, Morrison would become West Virginia College of Law's first female graduate. Her husband Charles Sumner Morrison was a classmate and he graduated the same year.[3][4][5][6][7] She became the first female admitted to practice law in West Virginia the following year and subsequently set up a law practice with her husband in Wheeling.[8] Morrison's legacy included being a founder of the women's organization Collegiate Alliance of Wheeling, which has stayed in existence long after her death.[9]

Morrison died on September 24, 1939, in Taylortown, Pennsylvania.[2]
