Mrs Catherine Gladstone: ‘A woman not quite of her time’
Born in 1812, the same year as writer Charles Dickens, Catherine Gladstone is one of history’s forgotten women. As the wife of four times British Prime Minister William Ewart Gladstone, she used her husband’s connections to help fund her many charitable projects. In return she found safe places for the young women he rescued from sex work and poverty. Janet Hilderley’s book reveals a woman who confronted severe social need through community action.
