Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Unravelled . is the story of Elizabeth Fulloon, the first female Superintendent of the Parramatta Female Factory. Appointed from England and with no apparent backgroundin managing prisoners or experience in manufacturing wool and spinning, she had to quickly adapt to a colonial posting with… only begrudging support from the male staff and ex-convicts engaged to help her run one of New South Wales' most important 19th century institutions.Elizabeth's task was a difficult one. She was expected to house and keep gainfully employed a growing number of convicts, new arrivals awaiting assignment, and women who, through illness, age or infirmity, would never leave the Factory. The introduction of a Board of Management and increasing bureaucracy made her position more challenging. Her final weeks at Parramatta ended with the infamous Female Factory riot in October 1827, when the women broke out of the Factory in protest at their rations being cut.Elizabeth's first husband, John Fulloon, died during the voyage to New South Wales in 1824 on board the 'Brothers'; her second, Robert Raine, was found drowned in the Parramatta River, allegedly murdered, and her third, William John Speed, was an ex-convict transported for bigamy. Both her colonial marriages lasted only a few months and ended in acrimony.Direct descendant Heather Garnsey has found that few stories about Elizabeth's life - as well as those of her three husbands - stand up to scrutiny. With detailed references drawing on archival sources and a full bibliography, Unravelled will give new insights into both Elizabeth's fascinating life and the Parramatta Female Factory in the 1820s. A biographical study of the first woman to be Superintendent of the Parramatta Female Factory, Unravelled gives a fascinating insight into the life of Elizabeth Fulloon, a woman largely forgotten in early NSW colonial history.
