Synge was the daughter of psychologist Karin Stephen and psychoanalyst Adrian Stephen (brother of Virginia Woolf and Vanessa Bell). She studied at Newnham College, Cambridge, where her mother had been a student and later delivered the first lecture course ever given on psychoanalysis. Becoming a medical doctor in 1943, she married the biochemist Richard Synge. The couple did much to promote the Peace movement, especially the Peace Council.
