Caroline Chisholm's remarkable and hard-won achievements live again in this book which describes her indomitable spirit, her propensity for hard work and as much of her private life as can be reconstructed. Her commitment during the 1830s and 1840s led to the establishment of a Female Immigrants' Home, the encouragement of family immigration, the fight for better conditions on immigrant ships, and practical help for some thirty thousand immigrants and settlers. "Caroline Chisholm" is the biography of one of the greatest women pioneers in our colonial history. This narrative is acclaimed as "outstanding", "a landmark in the study of women in Australia's history". Patricia Grimshaw's Introduction examines the effect of the new feminist movement on the reputation of Caroline Chisholm, and explores the life of the author, Margaret Kiddle, another woman ahead of her time.
