Mary Bryant was typical of the convict girls who were transported to Australia on the First Fleet (and others later) for crimes no worse than merely stealing some food to avoid starvation. It is not so much what Mary Bryant herself did, but for the fact that she represents all those other thousands of convict women, sentenced unjustly, and forced to endure the months-long horrific voyage to Australia in dangerous and unsanitary conditions. Even once she - and others - reached New South Wales, they endured incredible hardships and abuse by men. Mary, like so many others in her situation, was a Survivor. It was upon determined and persistent people like this that the great nation of Australia was built.

What are some Mary Tudor quotes?

Mary I of England has not gone down in history as a source of notable one-liners. If you want to get acquainted with things she supposedly said, you will have to get a biography of her. "Mary I" by John Edwards (Yale English Monarchs series) is recent and very well-received. One quote that is on record is; "When I am dead and opened, you shall find `Calais' lying in my heart."
