The lives of women are retold in poignant narratives in this, the third volume in the series Convict Lives. The authors provide rich historical details about how the women who entered through the grim gates of the Launceston Female Factory negotiated their lives as convicts during the assignment and probation systems in Van Diemen's Land.
