These gritty factory women endured 18th and early 19th century British poverty, left family behind, survived the high seas, translocation to an unfamiliar place and an often harsh penal system to become the farmers, business women, tradeswomen and 'mothers' of the nation.
This exhibition, toured by the Parramatta Heritage Centre and supported by Visions of Australia, includes rarely accessible objects from the early colony, art from significant colonial artists and is drawn from national, state and regional public and private collections.
