‘She has made a name that will outlive even her “block of buildings”, a name that many a girl wished to God she had never heard.’ The Truth, 20 April 1907
Meet the keeper of Melbourne’s most famous brothel. ‘Female pest’, entrepreneur and jilted lover, Caroline Hodgson (1851-1908) is Madame Brussels.
