Ostenso was born in Haukeland, Norway, but emigrated with her family to North America in 1902. They first settled in South Dakota before relocating to Manitoba. Ostenso was educated at the University of Manitoba. She is probably best known for the award-winning novel Wild Geese, published in 1925 (and filmed as After the Harvest in 2001).
