S4E10 Voices From the Parramatta Female Factory with Gay Hendriksen - Convict Australia | Lyssna här

In this episode, I talk with historian and author Gay Hendriksen about the women who passed through the Parramatta Female Factory and how we can recover and hear their voices through historical records. Gay shares the fascinating stories of several convict women, including Mary Hindle, Elizabeth Browning Owen, Constance Couronne, Mary Ann Hamilton, and Susannah Watson, revealing their resilience, struggles, and achievements in colonial Australia.

Together, we explore the lives of these women, the challenges they faced after transportation, and the important role the Parramatta Female Factory played in shaping their experiences. This conversation offers a powerful insight into the lives of convict women and the rich social history of one of Australia's most significant heritage sites.
