Random women in random advertisements :)

[xenith]

I've been a bit slow with my "Random Women" posts lately and I noticed some ads for various women's businesses while I was looking for something else, so I thought I'd share some. All from Colonial Times, 14 December 1849; via Trove. (The last/fifth one is interesting.)

Mrs Cox's coaching establishment sounds like the stuff of stories.

Oh, yeah.

Unfortunately the only stories about it involve embezzlement, bushrangers & drink driving.

What do you mean "unfortunately" - that's awesome - and I so want to know more!

(grin) I'll have a poke around and see what more I can find out.
