For many women from the lower social orders, convicts, ex-convicts, and free, the New South Wales colony offered opportunities that were denied them in England. The author argues that there was greater opportunities in NSW for all classes of women to improve their economic position and status. For those women interested in a trade, women of enterprise, initiative and industry, the colony was a limitless marketplace. (back cover)
