The story of the first european woman to stand on Tasmanian soil
Linda Cockburn
The true story of Louise Girardin who travelled as Louis with the D'Entrecasteaux expedition to Australia during the French Revolution.
Louise is petite and graceful and is soon suspected of being a woman. Harrassed beyond endurance, she stabs an officer with a kitchen knife and is challenged to a duel, which she fights with operatic dash on a beach near Recherche Bay, Tasmania.
D'Entrecasteaux, the commander, encourages all on board to learn the natural sciences, and Louise is an apt pupil. She learns of the sea, stars, flora and fauna, the difficulties of shipboard life, and to love Merite.
