Initially elected to the British Columbia provincial legislature as a Conservative, she crossed the floor and joined W.A.C.

In her role as Minister of Education, she introduced a new method of school finance that came to be known as the "Rolston Formula".[1] She was also instrumental in introducing what was effectively a sex-education program into the school curriculum.[2] She was defeated in the 1953 election by Liberal leader Arthur Laing. Despite her defeat she remained Education Minister until her death from cancer four months later. (en)
