please respond ! Cathy
I know this sounds fairly specialised but I have had a query from
someone
>asking about the history of the treatment of young women in Scotland in
the
>early 1800s with respect to incest.
>
>Basically this person is researching the history of a particular young
>woman in Scotland who was a victim of incest and subsequently
transported
>to Australia for her 'behaviour', it seems.
>
>I was wondering if anyone knows of any references which look at the
>treatment of young Scottish women in this period in this context. I can
>find general works on the treatment of children but I don't have
anything
>in Scotland in particular or with respect to the transportation of
>girls/women.
