Caroline Chisholm
Born in Northampton
in May 1808, Caroline Chisholm worked
tirelessly throughout her lifetime
in both England and Australia establishing
Female Schools of Industry, Female
Immigrants’ Homes and a Girls’
School in NSW. In 1877, Caroline Chisholm
died at home in England, poor and
almost
forgotten, but Australian history recognises
her as on of our greatest women.
