In the first few decades following the arrival of the First Fleet in 1788 there came to be established three institutions in the young colony referred to as female factories. The first was established at Parramatta in 1804 (Schultz, 1991: 4, 11-13) and the other two in 1827, one in Hobart (Schultz, 1991:32, 69) and the other in Moreton Bay (Schultz, 1991:41). This is a brief account of the salient features in the development of the first female factory which highlights the status of women in that early society. In preparing the account I have drawn heavily on Schultz's 'A Tapestry of Service' and Salt's 'These Outcast Women.'
1788年第一舰队抵达后的最初几十年里，这个年轻的殖民地建立了三个被称为女子工厂的机构。第一个于1804年在帕拉马塔成立（舒尔茨，1991：4，11 - 13），另外两个于1827年成立，一个在霍巴特（舒尔茨，1991：32，69），另一个在摩顿湾（舒尔茨，1991：41）。以下是对第一家女子工厂发展显著特征的简要描述，突出了早期社会中女性的地位。在撰写此描述时，我大量借鉴了舒尔茨的《服务的织锦》和索尔特的《这些被遗弃的女人》。
