How Did Mary Reibey Affect Australia

Mary MacKillop was born in Fitzroy, Melbourne on January the 15th 1842. She was the first child to Alexander MacKillop and Flora MacDonald. Mary was one child out of 8 and spent most of her childhood years looking after and acting like a second mother to her siblings. The MacKillop family were quite poor so at the young age of 14, Mary got herself a job as a governess and as teacher at a Portland school. All the money Mary earned went towards her families everyday living. While working as a governess, Mary met Father Julian Tension Woods. By the time Mary had reached the age of 15 she had decided that she wanted to be a nun. She also wanted to devote her life to the poor and less fortunate. So upon meeting Father Julian Tension Woods she

They helped her meet her future husband, Abraham Lincoln, who at the time was a delegate in the state legislature.Mary and Abraham were two very different people, and their meeting was anything but love at first sight (83). In 1840, their relationship was going well and there was talk of marriage. A year later they both were having doubts and they broke things off for a while. Mary was scared that she was going to marry the wrong guy. Because in the 1800?s, one you were married that was it. Even if the love was no more, the marriage stayed. Lincoln had also. As the son of a farmer, he was worried financially, thinking he might not be able to support her. The break up was hard for both of them, especially Mary "...Mary Todd was caught in a female dilemma between girlish sociability and wifely withdrawal..."(92). The two got back together in 1842, after having a difficult time away from each other. In fact, three days after the election in November of 1842, Mary Todd and Abraham Lincoln got married. The Lincoln?s' marriage was not centered on love but on politics. Their relationship was more of a friendship with random signs of affection.. Mary provided Lincoln with children, friendship, and domestic, economic and political support (131). Mary used her background to teach Lincoln how to dress and proper manners to help him be successful politically. Politics were important in the Lincoln?s' lives. While

It states, “I was hanged for living alone/ for having blue eyes and a sunburned skin,/ tattered skirts, few buttons,/ a weedy farm in my own name,/ and a surefire cure for warts” (lines 10-14). This passage demonstrates that the accused, typically, were considered abnormal by society. Mary lived alone, had tattered skirts, few buttons, and a weedy farm. These were things that may Puritan households did not have. Furthermore, her treatment for warts may have been considered magic or witchcraft by Puritans. So, these characteristics of Mary may be considered odd to society. She was made a target for witchcraft allegations, because she was considered

Mary Mallon was a woman of Irish descent who came to the United States as an immigrant to start a new life in 1886. She worked as a cook in a house where wealthy families came to celebrate their vacation. She was a healthy carrier of typhoid and made the guests sick and they died because of her.

When she decided not to report to the police and return to cooking.

* Why did Mary defy Mr Neal? What did she achieve? What role does the character of Mary play in the text?

As Mary’s story unravels, she continues to suffer long hours of work, starvation, and separation from her family. She reads her holy bible and is constantly reminding herself that God is with her and will see her through these trials. Her spirits are lifted her master agrees to sell Mary to her husband, and her mistress begins the journey with her, but before long the mistress decides not to go any further and they turn back. Not long after, she starts to loose hope that she will ever be reunited with her family. She becomes discouraged, and her spirit

Mary Reibey’s journey into becoming a prosperous woman began with her being a convict from Lancashire, England. Mary was born on the 12th

When first analysing the situation that Mary Reibey had gotten herself into, you would initially think about the unfortunate position for such a young girl. Mary’s criminal life and sentencing was caused by an act of horse stealing. Her act of crime was taken action on and two years after her initial sentencing she arrived in Sydney. One of the main factors influencing the negative impact of the convict experience on Mary’s life is the long and strenuous voyage she had to face. Her trip to Sydney aboard the Royal Admiral was one full of harsh treatment, terrible food, filthy and unhygienic conditions and loneliness. In a letter that Mary wrote to her aunt Alice Hope, she spoke about

There has been a lack of interest in female convicts as a subject of historical discussion. The history of female convicts has traditionally been incorporated into the framework of male convicts with grave reference to the male convict experience. The convict women who were transported to Australia on ships Elizabeth 5th and Henry Wellesley in 1836 faced extreme difficulty in achieving freedom and reputability. It is the view of many historians that “women were incorporated into a pattern initially designed to accommodate men”. This essay will investigate the origins and characteristics of a sample of 10 female convicts arriving to Sydney in1836. The essay aims to establish an alternative impression of the female convicts that were deemed damned whores, skill-less and prostitutes. In agreement with the 4 of the 5 studied historians, I hold the view that the women were the victims of a “repressive patriarchal society” and the appellation of female convicts as ‘damned whores’ is totally inadequate. I believe they were not members of a professional criminal class; they were humans with basic human needs, doing anything they could to survive.

Immediately, the purpose of Mary’s captivity was ransom. Ransom is inferred from the document outlined as, “They called me to them to inquire how much my husband would give to redeem me.” The word “redeem” leads readers to inquire her freedom counted on loved ones giving up money for her

Mary Fields, also known as “Stagecoach,” Mary’s birth was not in exact detail. She was born into slavery in the year of 1832 in Hickman, Tennessee. Mary did not know who her parents were so she was thought to be an orphan because of the mystery of her parents’ whereabouts due to the trading system for slavery. Mary, on the other hand, did receive an education but not from a school. She received her education with her local judge’s daughter who was the same age as Mary so they learned together until the judge's daughter went to Ohio for higher education.

One way her experience was so different compared to James Smith’s was, Mary had to watch her children and other family be viciously killed, while Smith was just integrated into the Native American society. The way her gender affected her treatment with the Indians was evident all throughout the time she was imprisoned with them. For one, since she was a woman, she was expected to be the head of the house and tend to the chores in the Puritan world. But while she was with the Natives, Rowlandson had to knit every single piece of clothing someone wanted and expect nothing in return. Because even if she ended up with a form of payment, it was usually stolen by someone else. She also had to carry extremely heavy loads while she had an open wound in her side, on top of having little rest. Everything Mary did during this time was nothing to be expected of a housewife at this time, especially having to watch her 6 year old daughter die of a gunshot wound because the Natives would not let her stop and tend to the wound. Instead, when her child died, the Natives took the child and just simply buried the daughter on top of some random

Although Mary did not always live with abusive families, the main focus in her book were the ones that treated her poorly. From roughly age twelve to her death in 1833, she was a subject to unfortunate treatment while living with the three families mentioned above, the Inghams, the D-s, and the Woods.
