‘The Women of Botany Bay’ is a history of the European women who came to New South Wales as convicted felons or as the free wives of convicts. It is based on the re-creation of the individual and collective British and Australian lives of every woman convicted in England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales and transported to NSW between 1787 and 1828, and as many of the ‘convict wives’ as could be traced. Please refer to the photos provided of the 344-page hardback book with dustjacket as these are of the book you will receive. Note the vertical scuff on the front dustjacket. Any questions?
