Elizabeth Read
Elizabeth Read ("née" Archer; 1820–1884) was an English-born prostitute who was transported to Australia. She and 179 other female convicts arrived in Hobart, Van Diemen's Land (modern-day Tasmania) in 1841 aboard the "Rajah", which has since become legendary by virtue of a patchwork quilt stitched by the convicts en route, now held at the National Gallery of Australia.
