Moving with mathematics Book

This maritime adventure delivers a boatload of salty women convicts, of varying degrees of guilt, from London to New South Wales in 1789 due to overcrowding in England’s gaols. The author provides the unique perspective of the female experience, which is more than welcome, and in fact vastly overlooked in written histories.

The title is misleading and this narrative is not as salacious as we might be led to believe, thankfully. The wonder of the world that these previously land bound women breathed is fascinating to consider on a number of levels and I won’t easily forget this tale.
