520 _a"Between May 1838, and November 1964, more than sixty people were legally put to death in South Australia. This book tells the tale of Elizabeth Lillian Woolcock, nee Oliver, the one and only woman among them. Elizabeth Woolcock was just twenty-five years of age when her life was brought to an abrupt halt on the gallows of the Adelaide Gaol. Since birth she had been stalked by more tragedy and misadventure than most people could possibly imagine. Yet, convicted by unsubstantiated gossip, innuendo, and misrepresentation, she unflinchingly faced her death and an eternity entombed in unhallowed soil on Murderers Row with no monument of stone to mark her grave. This is Elizabeth Woolcock's own tragic story, and a significant part of Australian history. And though she died the death of a felon, the truth is she may well have been the innocent victim of circumstance.".
