AbstractHistoryArchive Description
'This book tells the remarkable stories of women transported to Australia from the British Isles.
These stirring accounts remind us that the colonies were, from their beginning, populated by people from many cultures, and encourage us to envision the long reach of the British justice system during the heyday of Empire.
'From the Edges of Empire includes 15 stories from 14 authors, from family historians to award-winning historians. Some of these include Alison Alexander, winner of the National Biography Award for her book on Jane Franklin; Cassandra Pybus, author of 11 books; and Ralph Crane who has written or edited 21 books.'
