| Abstract: | In "Women on the Rocks", Kristin Williamson has created a novel from scraps of
historical fact concerning two female convicts: Mary Jones, who arrived in
Sydney in 1820, and Maria Wilkinson, alias Jane New, who was sent to Hobart
Town in 1824. Using these two women as the focus of her narrative, she has
woven what is known about them together with other snippets of information
into a plausible fiction. |
