Mary Reibey née Haydock (12 May 1777 – 30 May 1855) was an English-born merchant, shipowner and trader who was transported to Australia as a convict. After gaining her freedom, she was viewed by her contemporaries as a community role model and became legendary as a successful businesswoman in the colony.
This is a fascinating life story of a remarkable woman. It is also a rich, colourful and authentic portrait of early colonial life, from the corridors of power to the crime-filled alleyways infesting the wharves and waterfront of the young settlement. Previous ed.: Sydney : Ure Smith, 1975. #080322
