In September 1833, Catherine Doran stood in a Dublin courtroom and testified against her violent husband. She had two children, no money of her own, and what she got from the Recorder’s Court was not protection or justice — but five shillings a week and a promise.
In this episode of The Forgotten, I explore Catherine’s brief but powerful testimony: how respectability shaped her credibility, how her husband’s DARVO tactics undermined her voice, and how violence was bargained away as if it were just another household expense.
Nearly two centuries later, her story still echoes. Survivors today know what it means to be disbelieved, discredited, or forced to choose between financial survival and safety. Catherine’s voice reminds us that behind the euphemisms of “ill usage” and “unfortunate woman” were real women, real risks, and real resilience.
Every name, every story matters.
