This entry will discuss examples of women narrating their experience of criminal transportation to the American colonies during the early years of that system’s implementation (c. 1650–90). The transportation of English prisoners to colonial territories was a practice that began in the early seventeenth century, initially as a means of reprieve from death for certain criminals found guilty of capital crimes. From the earliest days of the practice, female felons were among those transported, although, as this entry will discuss, their experience and standing as transportees might be of a different order from that of their male peers. As sites of women’s literary production, the spaces of transportation were both complex and contested. Briefly examining two cases in particular, those of Mary Carleton and Jenney Voss, this entry will tentatively identify the opportunities for female agency that arose within those spaces.
