Tony Rayner’s Female Factory Female Convicts follows the forgotten women Britain shipped to Van Diemen’s Land, tracing their journey from London streets to Tasmania’s notorious workhouses. This 2012 illustrated paperback shines a light on Australia’s colonial history through the voices of those exiled.

The 199-page chronicle blends biography with cultural study, mapping how female convicts rebuilt lives under harsh conditions. Rayner’s concise narrative keeps the book accessible to young adults yet rich enough for seasoned history buffs.

A very good copy: pages are clean and tight, with only a faint scuff on page one. No writing, dog-ears, or smoke odour—just crisp text and period images ready for your shelf.
