Early life and education
Margaret Ann Shriver was born in Gastonia, North Carolina, to a religious family. Her father, Donald, is a Presbyterian minister who served as a scholar and president of Union Theological Seminary in New York; her mother, a homemaker, was a scholar. Margaret Ann changed her name from Margaret Ann to Lionel because she did not like the name she had been given and, as a tomboy, she felt a more appropriate male name.
Shriver was educated at Barnard College of Columbia University (BA, MFA). She has lived in Nairobi and Belfast and now lives in London. She has worked at Buck's Rock Performing and Creative Arts Camp in New Milford, Connecticut, where she has taught metalsmithing.

In 2003, Shriver married jazz drummer Jeff Williams. They live in Bermondsey, London.
Shriver appeared on BBC Radio 4's My Teenage Diary on June 7, 2016, where she read excerpts from her journals from the late 1960s and early 1970s and talked about her upbringing and adolescence.
