520 _aAfter her marriage in 1828 to the MP George Norton, the writer Caroline Norton attracted friends and admirers to her salon in Westminster, which included the young Disraeli and the widowed Prime Minister, Lord Melbourne. Racked with jealousy, George Norton took the Prime Minister to court, suing him for damages on account of his "Criminal Conversation" (adultery) with Caroline. Despite the unexpected sensational acquittal, Norton was still able to legally deny Caroline access to her three children, all under seven. He also claimed her income as an author for himself, since the copyrights of a married woman belonged to her husband. Caroline refused to despair. She channeled her energies in an area of much-needed reform: the rights of a married woman and, specifically, those of a mother. Over the next few years, she achieved her first landmark victory with the Infant Custody Act of 1839. The author sets the record straight, and in doing brings Caroline Norton to life. -- Adapted from jacket.
