Caroline Brogden (died 1906) was an African American woman from Georgia, USA, who lived in England for several years as a man, Paul Downing. In 1905 Downing was found running after buses on Blackfriars Bridge, "looking for his wife". He was arrested, found to be a woman, and sent to the City of London Asylum at Stone, near Dartford, dying there a year later.[1]
