Sime was born in Hamilton, South Lanarkshire in Scotland in 1868. Her parents were James Sime and Jessie Wilson. Her mother worked as a teacher and her father was a journalist and historian who wrote several books on German history.[1][2] She was home schooled and also attended Queen's College in London. She spent a year in Berlin studying voice. She returned to England, where she worked as a journalist in London and Edinburgh. While in Edinburgh she began a relationship with a Canadian doctor, Walter William Chipman. In 1907 she decided to visit Canada and ended up staying in Montreal for the remainder of her life.
