Convict Maids: The Forced Migration of Women to Australia - Studies in Australian History
Oxley, Deborah (University of New South Wales, Sydney)
Convict Maids analyses the backgrounds of female convicts transported from Britain and Ireland to New South Wales between 1826 and 1840. Drawing on extensive research, the author argues that these women were skilled, literate, young and healthy - qualities that helped put the new colony on its feet.
