Notes

  • Research background

    Violence against women/girls has a long history in Australia (Summers 1975). After 31 women were killed in the first 15 weeks of 2015, calls were made for national action. This speculative life writing, using facts from a case from the late 19th century, is based on previous research that suggests that incorporating conjecture into biography can produce engaging and thought-provoking historical narratives (Brien 2015).
