Through the examination of early committee papers held by the Archives of Tasmania, particularly the first-person evidence of Eliza Churchill, Frost contends that 'Female convict narratives do exist, if we know where to look, or by chance happen upon them.' Citing low literacy rates among convict women as a major factor in the dearth of such narratives, Frost also questions whether the autobiographical style was 'foreign to the convict women' and whether they may have resisted the genre.
