Notorious Strumpets and Dangerous Girls:
"Notorious Strumpets and Dangerous Girls" was first published by Angus and Robertson in 1990 as a huge book, which has long-since been out of print. Now republished on CD-ROM, it includes more than 1600 fully searchable biographies, a gallery of maps, pictures and documents from the period, as well as a 'highlights' section which points out some of the more fascinating, unusual and extreme events uncovered in compiling there biographies. This vast resource of information tells the story of each of the 1600 convict women sent to Van Diemen's Land (now known as Tasmania) in the first three decades of European settlement. The title comes from the description given to the convict Julia Mullins by Surgeon Matthew Burnside. At the end of the voyage from England to Hobart, a clearly exasperated Burnside wrote:
Readable using Adobe Acrobat, the CD gives the user the ability to search the CD, by name, ship or any other word. The information listed for each (most) convicts is phenomenal: not only do you get the name, native place, trade, literacy, height, age, complexion, head size, colour of hair, colour of eyes, size of eyebrows, size of nose, size of mouth, as well as any other distinguishing features, but then a chronology of 'colonial experiences' - this obviously varies from entry to entry (but is fascinating in itself). This is an absolute must for any genealogist or historian with connections to early Tasmania and/or the female convicts sent there.
