The Curious Case of Constance Kent

March is Women’s History Month!

Ruth Emilie Kaye died in the Loreto Convalescent Home, Albert Road, Strathfield in 1944, aged 100. She was praised for her selfless career nursing lepers at Little Bay and as matron of the Parramatta Industrial Girls’ School. It was many years before her real identity was revealed. At the age of 16, in England, Constance Kent had murdered her younger half-brother. Scotland Yard was called in but it was five years before she confessed to the crime. After serving 20 years in gaol she migrated to Australia and re-invented herself as Matron Kaye.
