Caroline Elizabeth Sarah Norton, Lady Stirling-Maxwell, was an active English law and social reformer, poet, author, and campaigner for women's legal rights. Due to her own bitter personal experiences, her campaigning led to the passage of the Custody of Infants Act of 1839, the Matrimonial Causes Act of 1857 and the Married Women's Property Act of 1870. She was the model for Justice in "The Spirit of Justice" by artist Daniel Maclise, a fresco in The Chamber of The House of Lords.
