520    On September 2, 1845, the convict ship Tasmania left 
       Kingstown Harbour for Van Diemen's Land, with 138 female 
       convicts and their 35 children. On December 3, the ship 
       arrived into Hobart. While the book looks at the lives of 
       all the women, it focuses on two women in particular; 
       Eliza Davis, who was transported from Wicklow Gaol, where 
       she was for life for infanticide, having had her sentence 
       commuted from death; and Margaret Butler, sentenced to 
       seven years transportation for stealing potatoes in 
       Carlow. What emerges is a picture of the reality of 
       transportation, together with the legacy left by these 
       women in Tasmania, and asks the question about whether 
       this Draconian punishment was, for some, a life-saving 
       measure.
