Carole Walker

After an earlier career as a Personal Assistant and raising a family, Carole returned to further education, studying

for a B.A. in English Literature at Loughborough University, and a Masters Degree in Victorian Studies at Leicester University.

Whilst working on her dissertation for her Masters Degree, Carole came across the work of Caroline Chisholm and was hooked, successfully completing a Doctorate on Caroline’s life and work several years later. Carole believes that Caroline Chisholm deserves to be better known in Britain and hopes that this book will fill that gap expanding the knowledge of Caroline’s life and work. She also hopes that the book will further raise Caroline’s profile in Australia.
