Ruth Murray Brown was born on February 24, 1927, in New York City, New York, United States. She was the daughter of Alvin White and Wilma Lucille (Dorth) Murray.
Ruth Brown graduated from El Dorado High School in 1944. Then she went to Southwestern College in Winfield, Kansas, where she received a Bachelor of Arts degree in sociology in 1948. Then in 1951, she obtained a Master of Arts degree in sociology from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. In 1974 she got a Doctor of Philosophy degree from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.
Ruth Brown began her teaching career after receiving her bachelor's and master's degrees. In 1970-1971 she worked as an instructor in sociology at Oklahoma State University. From 1974 to 1991 she taught sociology and political science at Rose State College in the position of professor. On retirement, at the age of sixty-five, she accepted a one-year position in 1992-1993 at Donetsk State University (now Vasyl' Stus Donetsk National University) in Ukraine as a member of political science faculty as part of a program to bring Western social science to the successor states of the USSR.
Foreign travel was in her blood. Apart from trips to Japan to accompany her husband who was on research fellowships in 1956-1957 and in 1977-1978, and an expedition to China with him in 1980, she spent time in Germany in pursuit of her ancestors, a grandfather having come from Germany, and studied the German language as an aid to her research.
After retirement from teaching, she devoted herself completely to finishing her book, For a "Christian America": A History of the Religious Right which was published in 2002. It is based on interviews with Christian conservatives in Oklahoma and placed in the context of the national organizations of the movement.

For her teaching success, she was the recipient of two grants from the National Endowment for the Humanities. Her book, For a "Christian America": A History of the Religious Right, is considered to be a significant social history full of insights into an important cultural movement.
