CHAOS AND ORDER - GENDER, SPACE AND SEXUALITY ON FEMALE CONVICT SHIPS

Abstract

If there ever was a hell afloat it must have been in the shape of a female convict ship quarrelling, fighting, thieving, destroying in private each other's property from a mere spirit of devilishness, conversation with each other most abandoned, without feeling or shame. © 1995, Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.
