McCall studied English at the University of Toronto then spent the next 20 years as a journalist at The Globe and Mail, Saturday Night and Maclean's and as a senior editor at Chatelaine, as a senior political writer and author. She later worked with, and eventually married (in 1959 and separated before 1977), Peter C. Newman. She focused on book writing in the 1980s. She had done much writing about the late Prime Minister of Canada Pierre Trudeau, and published a two volume book entitled Trudeau and Our Times which she co-authored with then husband Stephen Clarkson (m. 1978). The first volume, The Magnificent Obsession, won a 1990 Governor General's Award.

She died at the age of 70 at the Providence Healthcare Centre after a long illness. She is survived by Clarkson and three children—Ashley McCall, Kyra Clarkson and Blaise Clarkson.
