Book Description
Within two months of each other in 1791, two English women set sail with their husbands on relief missions to two recently established and far-flung British colonies, Botany Bay on the east coast of New Holland, and Sierra Leone, West Africa. Their narratives shed light on colonialism, gender, and the slave trade. Distributed by Continuum. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
