Female Factory Gate 1

The Parramatta Female Factory was Australia's first women's refuge, a place where women were kept out of sight, out of mind, incarcerated behind its high walls.

Should be burned, and just the shell left, as symbol of memorial. For my mother was "interned" in Brisbane. The shell should be just the walls as a reminder that it should never be allowed to occur again. Leaving only the walls, the roof burned as a symbol for all those tortured within its walls, the roof gone symbolises that we the Australian people would never allow abuse to be covered again. Thats what I think they should do with it.

Amazing post - thank you!

Have you written your novel? Would love to know the title.  One of my ancestors visited the Female Factory several times after being transported - eager to read anything on what life may have been like for her and others.

This is really good work, ArtAngel22. I am writing a novel that involves the Parramatta Female Factory. Where does your interest stem from? Thanks for this evocative piece.
