Jeannie Gunn was born in Carlton, Melbourne, the last of five children of Thomas Johnstone Taylor, a Baptist minister who went into business and later worked on the Melbourne Argus.[1] Matriculating through Melbourne University after being educated at home, Gunn ran a school with her sisters between 1889 and 1896, after which she worked as a visiting teacher. In 1901 she married the explorer, pastoralist and journalist Aeneas James Gunn in the Presbyterian Church. Together they travelled to Darwin (then called Palmerston) and then onto an outlying station at Mataranka. Her husband died early in 1903 and Gunn returned to live in Melbourne.

In Melbourne, at the encouragement of friends, Jeannie Gunn began writing the books for which she would become famous. The Little Black Princess: a True Tale of life in the Never-Never Land, published in 1905 and revised in 1909, chronicled the childhood of an Indigenous Australian protagonist named Bett-Bett. Gunn's second book, We of the Never Never (1908), was styled as a novel but was actually a recounting of her time in the Northern Territory with only the names of people changed to obscure their identities. We of the Never Never sold more than 300,000 copies over thirty years, was translated into German in the 1920s, and by 1931 its author was voted the third most popular Australian novelist after Marcus Clarke and Rolf Boldrewood in a poll by The Herald (Melbourne).[1] By 1990 over a million copies of the book had been sold.[2]

During the First World War Gunn became active in welfare work for Australian servicemen overseas.[3] At the end of the conflict she began campaigning for the welfare of returned servicemen, liaising with government departments and becoming a patron of the Monbulk RSL, attending every event they organised over two decades. Although she never completed another novel, she did publish further stories about the characters from her previous works.[1] In 1939 she was appointed an Officer of the Order of the British Empire for her writing and advocacy work.

Jeannie Gunn died at Hawthorn, in 1961. The memoirs of her work with the RSL, My Boys: A book of remembrance, was published in 2000.
