Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. 'Her superb research and sympathetic reconstructions of nineteenth-century Scotland and Australia bring to life a long-forgotten but fascinating group of women.' - Si n Rees, author of The Floating BrothelIn the early nineteenth century, crofters and villagers streamed into the burgeoning cities of Scotland, and families splintered. Orphan girls, single mothers and women on their own all struggled to feed and clothe themselves. For some, petty theft became a part of life. Any woman deemed 'habite & repute a thief' might find herself before the High Court of Justiciary, tried for yet another minor theft and sentenced to transportation 'beyond Seas'.Lucy Frost memorably paints the portrait of a boatload of women and their children who arrived in Hobart in 1838. Instead of serving time in prison, the women were sent to work as unpaid servants in the houses of settlers. Feisty Scottish convicts, unaccustomed to bowing and scraping, often irritated their middle-class employers, who charged them with insolence, or refusing to work, or getting drunk. A stint in the female factory became their punishment.Many women survived the convict system and shaped their own lives once they were free. They married, had children and found a place in the community. Others, though, continued to be plagued by errors and disasters until death. From the crowded tenements of Edinburgh to the Female Factory nestling in the shadow of Mt Wellington, dozens of Scottish women convicts were exiled to Van Diemen's Land with their young children. This is a rich and evocative account of the lives of women at the bottom of society two hundred years ago.

Softcover. Condición: As New. In late 19th century Australia, many abandoned children were exploited as free labor, their stories largely hidden until now. Lucy Frost's thorough research reveals the plight of convict orphans, whose histories were often buried due to family shame surrounding convict ancestry or illegitimate births. Among these forgotten tales is that of Agnes, who arrived on a convict transport at four and was abandoned by her mother to escape an abusive husband. Similarly, Maria and Eliza Marriner were placed in state care after their mother died and their father deserted them. Inside the austere Queen's Orphan Schools, they, along with hundreds of other children, were under the watch of the feared Matron Smyth. At twelve, they were forced to work without pay on farms and in homes, often in abusive environments. Although colonists referred to this as white slavery, authorities ignored the grim reality. The children's stories include both abuse and the kindness of those who helped them. While some managed to create fulfilling lives, many struggled against a system designed to fail them. Disturbing parallels exist between the Queen's Orphan Schools and contemporary children's institutions in Australia.…

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. Shortlisted for the 2025 Tasmanian Literary Awards Premier's Prize for Non-fiction Longlisted for the 2024 Green Family Tasmanian History Award All families have their secrets, and a convict ancestor or an illegitimate birth were shames that families once buried deep. Among the best-hidden stories in Australia's history are those of the convict orphans. Agnes arrived on a convict transport aged four and was abandoned when her mother needed to escape an abusive husband. After their mother died and their father deserted them, Maria and Eliza Marriner were taken into state care too. Cut off from family, behind the walls of the imposing sandstone buildings of the Queen's Orphan Schools, they were among hundreds of young children entrusted to the much feared Matron Smyth. At the age of twelve, the children left the orphanage to work without pay on farms and in homes-some of them places where no child should ever have been sent. Although colonists called it white slavery, the authorities turned a blind eye to what was really happening. These are stories of abuse and abandonment, and also of great generosity and kindness from individuals who rescued and supported children. Some children managed to build happy lives for themselves, but many could not navigate a system stacked against them. There are disturbing parallels between the Queen's Orphan Schools in Hobart and other children's institutions in Australia into the 21st century. 'This moving story of thousands of cast away children is a vital part of our nation's history.' - David Hill, author of The Forgotten Children 'A beautifully written book detailing the evocative, heartbreaking stories of convict orphans painstakingly pieced together' - Professor Tanya Evans, author of Fractured Families'A fascinating study, richly textured, and extremely well-researched' - Professor Barry Godfrey, University of Liverpool Many thousands of abandoned children were treated as free labour in late 19th century Australia, yet their stories have been hidden until now, even to their descendants. Lucy Frost's painstaking research has uncovered what really happened to the convict orphans. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…
