商品簡介
The heartbreaking and triumphant true story of women exiled from the British Isles who created the most liberated society of their time.
The Tin Ticket takes readers to the dawn of the nineteenth century and into the lives of three women arrested and sent into suffering and slavery in Australia and Tasmania-and who overcame their fates unlike any other women in the world at the time.
It is the story of Agnes McMillan, whose defiance and resilience carried her to a far more dramatic rebellion; Ludlow Tedder, forced to choose just one of her four children to accompany her to the other side of the world; and Bridget Mulligan, who gave birth to a line of powerful women stretching to the present day. It also tells the tale of Elizabeth Gurney Fry, a Quaker reformer who touched all their lives.
Ultimately, this is a story of women discarded by their homeland and forgotten by history-who, by sheer force of will, become the heart and soul of a new nation.
