Recounts the history of British convict women involuntarily transported to Maryland in the eighteenth century. Great Britain's forced transportation of convicts to colonial Australia is well known. Less widely known is Britain's earlier programme of sending convicts - including women - to North America. Basing much of her powerful narrative on the experiences of actual women, Edith M. Ziegler restores individual faces to women stripped of their basic freedoms.
