"Single & Free" unveils the compelling stories of nearly 3,000 single women who bravely migrated from Britain and Ireland to Australia between 1833 and 1837. Driven by the promise of opportunity in colonies desperately lacking a gender-balanced population, these women sought to escape poverty and create new lives. The book explores the motivations, challenges, and triumphs of these courageous individuals, examining their contributions as domestic workers, entrepreneurs, wives, and mothers. From governesses seeking independence to women escaping societal constraints, "Single & Free" sheds light on their experiences and the lasting impact they had on the development of Australia. Discover how these women helped to shape the colonies.
