Biography


Born Waltraud Helene Rosalie Ulrich, Asher migrated to Australia from Germany as a post-World War II refugee.[2] Asher and her husband Mervyn were active in the Australian literary scene.[3]

Asher published Tilly's Fortunes through Penguin in 1986.[4] She also wrote under the name Helen Ulrich, and her short stories were featured in numerous anthologies.[5]

Asher bequeathed money to the Australia Council for the establishment of a biennial prize to be awarded to “a female author whose work carries an anti-war theme”. The $12,000 Asher Award was administered by the Australian Society of Authors from 2005 to 2017.[6]
