  Caroline Elizabeth Sarah Norton - LoveToKnow 1911   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
CAROLINE ELIZABETH SARAH NORTON (1808-1877), afterwards Lady Stirling-Maxwell, English writer, was born in London in 1808.
Mrs Norton made her own experience a plea for addressing to the queen in 1855 an eloquent letter on the divorce laws, and her writings did much to ripen opinion for changes in the legal status of married women.
George Meredith, in Diana of the Crossways, used her as the model for his "Diana." Mrs Norton was not a mere writer of elegant trifles, but was one of the priestesses of the "reforming" spirit; her Voice from the Factories (1836) was a most eloquent and rousing condemnation of child labour.

 Lady Caroline Norton
Norton, the granddaughter of a playwright (Richard Sheridan) and the daughter of a novelist (Caroline Henrietta Sheridan) came from a literary family, and began writing at a young age.
Caroline was largely responsible, through her pamphleteering and networking, for the passing of the Infant Custody Bill (1839), which allowed mothers to petition for custody of their children.
Norton also continued to lobby energetically for reform of England's laws, and enjoyed the satisfaction of the passage of the Marriage and Divorce Act of 1857, which granted women a separate legal existence from their husbands and enabled them to control their own income.

        How far Caroline of Brunswick was pre-judged and fore-doomed, when she came to this country, to find the Countess of Jersey already appointed her lady-in-waiting, and to be welcomed--not as a bride, but as a scrip-share, by that indebted Prince, who had pledged his royal word he was not already married to Mrs.
Mr Norton allowed this child to lie ill a week before he sent to tell me he was dying; and, when I arrived, I found the poor little creature already in his coffin.
Mr Norton either felt, (as he may truly feel), that no unprejudiced gentleman in England, would support him in his legal quibble:--or he had never intended to propose a choice which could be accepted,--which is more than probable.

The man who never tried the companionship of a little child has carelessly passed by one of the great pleasures of life, as one passes a rare flower without plucking it or knowing its value.
I can endure a melancholy man, but not a melancholy child; the former, in whatever slough he may sink, can raise his eyes either to the kingdom of reason or of hope; but the little child is entirely absorbed and weighed down by one fl poison-drop of the present.
