Female Factories:
Like many of my fellow Australian sisters, I had several ancestors who spent time in the female factories both at Paramatta and at Tasmania. This is a bit of a passion of mine in acknowledging and giving voices to those women who for so many years in our history were kept silent through forgetting. I hope in some small way to be part of the movement to give them back their voices. I am a descendant of one of those “Cascade Women’s Factory babies” because of my ancestor Sophia Morgan. I am so proud and more so grateful for these mothers.
