Mauatua, Tahitian lover and consort of Fletcher Christian, directed bloody revolution on Pitcairn Island and in 1838 led the island’s women to be first in the world to vote and to make education compulsory for girls.
Based firmly on fact and deeply researched understanding of 18th century Polynesian life, particularly the shocking abuse of women, the book gives the only full account of the Ma’ohi women of BOUNTY, the Foremothers of Pitcairn and without whom we may have known little or nothing about the mutiny on BOUNTY.
