The Heroic Journey of Australia’s Convict Women
The Tin Ticket tells of four women convicted of minor crimes, apprehended and sent to Van Diemen’s Land, later known as Tasmania. They endured humiliation and pain to live long enough to thrive on their own terms, striving for a society with equal rights for women.
This book ultimately tells the tale of these four women, discarded by their own nation and working to become the heart and soul of a new nation.
