  'To Try Her Fortune in London' considers white colonials as part of the colonial presence at the heart of the empire. Between 1870 and 1940 tens of thousands of Australian women were drawn to London. This title explores previously unexamined connections between whiteness, colonial status, gender, and modernity.
