We follow the story of several female convicts from the UK as well as as an indigenous child from Australia who eventually cross paths. Although the story is fictional, the history it is based on is eye opening and disturbing. This novel gives a new appreciation for female rights, in modern times, in first world countries.
Graphic: Misogyny and Forced institutionalization
Moderate: Abortion, Abandonment, and Excrement
Minor: Murder, Child abuse, Miscarriage, Pregnancy, Mental illness, Injury/Injury detail, Gaslighting, and Abortion
