Elizabeth Macarthur was an English gentlewoman who arrived in colonial Australia aboard a ship of convicts. Her husband was prone to troublemaking, and was sent back to England twice: for dueling and for staging a coup. She carried on and established Australia as an international player in the wool industry.
