	Catherine Helen Spence - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Spence was born on October 31, 1825 in Melrose, Scotland, as the fifth child in a family of eight.
		Spence had a talent for writing and an urge to be read, so it was natural that in her teens she became attracted to journalism through family connections, beginning at first with short pieces and poetry published in The South Australian.
		Although Spence never married, receiving two proposals during her life, both of which she rejected, she had a keen interest in family life and marriage, as applied to other people, and both her life's work and writing were devoted to raising awareness and improving the lot of women and children.

		The inscription on her statue erected in 1981 in Adelaide, South Australia, describes Catherine H. Spence as a "social and political reformer, writer and preacher who worked for children", but this does not do justice to a fascinating character who should be better known - especially in the place of her birth: Melrose, Scotland.
		Catherine Spence did enjoy meeting her relations again of course; her old teacher, Miss Phin, was glad to see her, though she "would have been glad if (my novels) had been more distinctly religious in tone".
		In 1975 her portrait formed one of a set of "Famous Australian Women" stamps and a bibliography of her writings by Dr Barbara Wall of South Australia is in preparation, so clearly she is still a lady to be reckoned with.

		I was born on October 31, 1825, the fifth of a family of eight born to David Spence and Helen Brodie, in the romantic village of Melrose, on the silvery Tweed, close to the three picturesque peaks of the Eildon Hills.
		The cross was the place for any public speaking, and I recalled, when I was recovering from the measles, the maid in whose charge I was, wrapped me in a shawl and took me with her to hear a gentleman from Edinburgh speak in favour of reform to a crowd gathered round.
		I wanted a piece of paper or a slate badly, but the daughter came in and made her mother understand that I was the middle Spence girl, and then the old lady said, "It is a very hot country you come from," her only idea apparently of wonderful Australia.

		HELEN BRODIE SPENCE Born at Whittingham, Scotland, 1791.
		It was rather remarkable that my sister's husband and my brother's wife arrived on the same day in two different ships—one in the Anglier from England, and the other in the Three Bells from Glasgow—in 1851; but I did not make the acquaintance of either till 1854 and 1855.
		She was my beau ideal of what a maiden aunt should be, though why she was never married puzzles more than me. Between my mother and her there was a love passing the love of sisters—my father liked her better than his own sisters.
