The story of Maria Lord is one of courage in the face of betrayal. Her ability to survive and thrive, despite her transportation to Van Diemen's Land and what Edward Lord did to her, is a story that should be told. The brutal government of women in the colony, the biassed social rules of the early 1800s, and the losses suffered by female convicts are all part of Maria's story.
Further details of her story can be found online and in particular, in chapter 1 of Convict Women by Kay Daniels. In another blog post by blogger Lynley Joyce in her blog Shorthand Social, you will find more of Maria Lord's storyline.
