Mary Alice Norton was born on February 25, 1860 in Gloucester, Massachussets, United States. She was the daughter of Reverend Francis Nathan Peloubet and Mary Abby (Thaxter) Peloubet. Named Mary Alice, she rarely made use of her first name. She was descended from Joseph Alexander de Chabrier de Peloubet, who came from Perigord, France, to the United States in 1803.
In 1882 Norton received the degree of Bachelor of Arts from Smith College.
Ellen H. Richards, home-economics pioneer, became Norton's counselor and directed her into a life of further study, teaching, and lecturing until she herself was recognized as one of the leaders in the home-economics movement.
She held positions as teacher or lecturer in home economics at Lasell Seminary, 1893-99; the Hartford School of Sociology, 1894; the Boston Young Women's Christian Association School of Domestic Science, 1895-1900; the Boston Cooking School, 1898-1900; the High School at Brookline, Massachussets, where she was also supervisor of grammar-school work, 1896-1900; the Chicago Institute, 1900-01; the University of Chicago, where she was assistant professor in home economics in the School of Education, 1901-04, and assistant professor in household administration, 1904-13. She was dietitian, 1913-14, of the Cook County, Illinois, public institutions.
During the summers of 1900 to 1905 and 1915 to 1917, she served as director of the Chautauqua, New York, School of Domestic Science.
During the World War she served as an editor for the United States Food Administration (1917 - 18) and was with the war-savings division of the treasury department (1919), where she helped to issue Thrift Leaflets.
In 1921 the American Home Economics Association raised a sum of money to pay the salary of a professor of home economics at the Constantinople Women's College, and Mrs. Norton consented to occupy this position in a country where housework was considered a menial occupation suitable only for servants or peasants. She remained for over two years, making a survey of the elementary schools of the city, acquiring equipment, building up a permanent department, and giving lectures to the nurses' training class in the American Hospital at Stambul.
After her return from Constantinople, she substituted as head of the home-economics department of Indiana University (1924 - 25). Thereafter she made her home in Northampton, Massachussets, and carried on a study for the Institute for the Coordination of Women's Interests at Smith College. Shortly before her death her Institute bulletin, Cooked Food Supply Experiments in America (1927), was published.
Her life was so full of changing activities that her writing was confined to articles and bulletins on home-economics subjects. Considering the many professional demands on her time and her personal economic problems (she provided college education for all her five children), the number of her civic and educational interests is remarkable.

In addition to membership in many professional societies, Norton was a more or less active member of the American Association of University Women, the Religious Education Association, the College Political Equality League, the Drama League, the Chicago Women's Club, the League of Women Voters, the Foreign Policy Association, and the Women's International League of Peace and Freedom.
On June 6, 1882 Norton married, at Natick, Massachussets Lewis Mills Norton, of the chemistry department of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He died in 1893, and she faced a struggle to support her five children.
