(15,774 posts)33. I have become addicted to
Secrets of the Dead on PBS. One great story they did was the settling of Australia. Once the American colonies won their independence....Britan had to look else where to dispose of their 'human rubbish'. The Voyage of the Courtesans is a fascinating episode. It shed light on British crime and punishment and the formation of Australia. From what I have heard from elders, women in the old west faced similar problems (like women in Lonesome Dove).
