Women of Pitt Street 1858

Pitt Street in 1858 was alive with busy women, who were property owners, independent tenants, employees and small-scale businesswomen. This virtual walk rescues them from the obscurity of history, and shows how varied women's lives in mid-nineteenth-century Sydney really were.
