About this item
1969 - 1st paperback edition.
Some shelf wear, edges scuffed and markings on bottom edge. Spine heavily cracked down centre.
Caroline Chisholm was the most remarkable woman in early Australian history. Her national importance has been marked by the use of her portrait on Australian stamps and currency.
For thirty years she worked to assist single women and families to migrate and settle in Australia. Her achievements belong as much to the social history as to the young colony on which her work had a great humanizing effect. The idealistic and religious fervour for which she is now admired made her then a target for sectarian suspicion, which added to the many difficulties she had to overcome.
The late Margaret Kiddle's definitive biography was first published in 1950 after years of energetic research in Australia, England and Ireland. In succeeding editions it has become a classic of Australian histiography.
This new edition has been abridged for the general reader.
