westaustralianGuilty as charged: Our report about the blessing of the bonnets as part of the International Women’s Day celebrations requires clarification (Bonnet blessing remembers convicts, page 18, March 9). No female convicts officially came to WA among the almost 10,000 male convicts. (Or did they? WA author Amanda Curtin’s novel The Sinkings is based on a factual tale of the 1882 murder near Albany of Irish-born ex-convict Little Jock, who lived as a man but was found in death to have been a woman).
