I whanau a Winterson i Manchester, a, i whakamanahia e Constance raua ko John William Winterson i te 21 o Hanuere 1960. I tipu ake ia i Accrington, Lancashire, a, i whakaarahia i roto i te Elim Pentecostal Church. I whakaarahia ia hei misionare Karaitiana Pentecostal, a ka tiimata ia ki te kauwhau i nga kauwhau i te ono o ona tau. I te tau 16, ka puta a Winterson hei wahine wahine, ka wehe atu i te kainga. I muri tata mai ka haere ia ki Accrington me Rossendale College, ka tautoko ia i a ia ano i nga momo mahi rereke i a ia e korero ana i te reo Ingarihi i te Whare Wananga o St Catherine, Oxford. Patai: He aha te ingoa tuatahi o te tangata nana i whakamana te wahine i tuhi nga kauwhau i te ono o ona tau?
