The fifth book in the Convict Lives series — featuring the stories of 29 women who served part of their sentences at the Cascades Female Factory beneath kunanyi / Mount Wellington in Hobart.
Written by Alison Alexander and Alice Meredith Hodgson, the book presents a cross-section of the women held there — young offenders, experienced criminals, and women who eventually built prosperous lives after their sentences — giving individual faces and stories to women who would otherwise be statistics in colonial records.
