Feferman was born on July 27, 1927. She was originally from Los Angeles, and attended Hollywood High School and the University of California, Los Angeles before earning a bachelor's degree in 1948 from the University of California, Berkeley.

At Stanford, Feferman became a member of a biography seminar led by Barbara A. Babcock and Diane Middlebrook.^[3] Her first biography, of Jean van Heijenoort, was Politics, Logic, and Love: The Life of Jean van Heijenoort (Jones and Bartlett, 1993), also published as From Trotsky to Gödel: The Life of Jean van Heijenoort (CRC Press, 2001).^[4] With Solomon Feferman, she was the co-author of a biography of Alfred Tarski, Alfred Tarski: Life and Logic (Cambridge University Press, 2004).^[5]
