Caroline Kearney faced a heartbreaking dilemma. In 1865 she was
newly widowed, thirty-one years old, and the mother of six
children. She had hoped her husband would leave his sheep station
in Victoria, Australia to her sons. Instead, his will required that
the family move to Ireland and live in a house chosen by her
brothers-in-law. Pieced together from archives, newspapers,
genealogical sites, and legal records, Caroline’s Dilemma sheds
new light on colonial family and gender relationships of the
nineteenth century and tells the story of how one woman fought to
shape her own life within the British Empire.
