Summary:
The biography of
Caroline
Sheridan
Norton
who was accused by her husband of "criminal conversation" (adultery) in Victorian England. After a not-guilty verdict humiliated her husband,
Caroline
was cut off, leaving her destitute and forbidden from seeing her sons. For the next thirty years
Caroline
campaigned for women and battled male-dominated Victorian society, helping to write the Infant Custody Act (1839), and influenced the Matrimonial Causes (Divorce) Act (1857) and the Married Women's Property Act (1870), which gave women a separate legal identity for the first time.
