Dates: 
3/5/1867 - 23/7/1896

Caroline Eliza Derecourt Martyn, also known as Carrie, was born in Lincoln in 1867, the eldest child of devout Anglican parents. After staying with an aunt who held decidedly left wing views, Caroline became a radical, then a socialist, though strong religious principles inherited from her parents caused her to disagree with the Marxist principles of many of her contemporaries. In 1892, Caroline gave up her job as governess at the Royal Orphanage asylum at Wandsworth and devoted herself full time to the socialist cause.
