Annie Bowden, writes to the Sydney Morning Herald

An Aboriginal woman from La Perouse, Annie Bowden, writes to the Sydney Morning Herald: "The women were always taken care of in my case and made much of. There was more discipline in the camps than there is in many white homes today … boys were taught from earliest infancy to respect their mothers and their sisters, and no one woman had more than one husband."
