- Abstract
- Some European women exercised autonomous power on the early Victorian goldfields demonstrating their gendered relations in the patriarchal colonial society that was operating. This chapter examines two marginal groups of women through the themes of marriage, family and the law arguing that some challenged orthodoxies, negotiated terms, faced adversities, and exercised agency in a goldfields landscape which was orientated to males.
