Governor's Wives In Colonial Aust
Author(s): Anita Selzer
The wife of a governor of one of the Australian colonies was expected to embody the ideal of the 'English Lade' and be the centre of colonial society.
Governors' Wives in Colonial Australia explores how five viceregal women - Eliza Darling, Jane Franklin, Mary Anne Broome, Elizabeth Loch and Audrey Tennyson - fullfilled their role. Drawing on letters, diaries and journals, Governors' Wives in Colonial Australia provides an account of the role of viceregal women in colonial life.
