Who was Isabella Mary Kelly? Media sensationalism and colourful folklore labelled her a "wanton with a whip" and a "bitter sadistic hell-cat of a woman". Legends of her infamous adventures with convicts and bushrangers were told. With care and attention to detail, Maurie Garland strips back the layers of rumour and misinformation to reveal the truth about Isabella Mary Kelly, a woman alone in the unforgiving Australian outback of the mid-nineteenth century. Hers is a story of a woman ahead of her time, and persecuted for her differences.
