White Rag Burning: Irish Convict Arsonists in Van Diemen's Land (Dianne Snowden) - Tasmanian History / Genealogy

Between 1841 and 1853, nearly 250 women were transported from Ireland to Van Diemen's Land for committing arson, a number out of all proportion to males transported for the same offence. Renowned Tasmanian historian Dianne Snowden explains why so many women resorted to arson as a desperate survival mechanism during the Great Famine, explores their motives, and follows their lived experiences both as convicts in the factory system and subsequently when set free in the colony.
