She published under her birth name, James, until 1972, when she had gender reassignment surgery after transitioning from male to female.Morris was a member of the 1953 British Mount Everest expedition, which made the first ever confirmed ascent of the mountain. She was the only journalist to accompany the expedition, climbing with the team to a camp at 22,000 feet, and using a prearranged code to send news of the successful ascent, which was announced in ''The Times'' on the day of Queen Elizabeth II's coronation (2 June 1953).
