Description - The Case of the Married Woman: Caroline Norton: A 19th Century Heroine Who Wanted Justice for Women by Lady Antonia Fraser
'Before biography was fashionable, Antonia Fraser made the past popular' Guardian'As a pure storyteller, Antonia Fraser has few equals' Sunday TimesCAROLINE NORTON, a nineteenth-century heroine who wanted justice for women.Poet, pamphleteer and artist's muse, Caroline Norton dazzled 19-century society with her vivacity and intelligence. In 1836 Caroline underwent a dramatic trial when her jealous husband sued the Prime Minister, Lord Melbourne, for adultery. Provisions which are now taken for granted - such as the right of a mother to have access to her children - owe much to Caroline, who was determined to secure justice for women at all levels of society. Award-winning historian Antonia Fraser brilliantly portrays a woman who refused to be curbed by the personal and political constraints of her time.
