Sarah Hang Gong
No full textSarah and Lee Hang Gong had six children and came to Palmerston, Northern Territory around 1881 where Hang Gong established a business in Southport and Palmerston. Sarah was first mentioned in the Territory records as the midwife/nurse who registered the birth of a child to Southport stonemason family. Then she became known as a lobbyist to the Government Resident asking for work as court interpreters for her sons. When her husband died in Palmerston in 1892 Sarah continued her midwifery and nursing work, her name appears in several Territorians' birth registers as the nurse in attendance. She took an active interest in politics and was one of the supporters of Charles Herbert who was running for the Territory seat in South Australian parliament. She lived in a small house behind the family store in Cavenagh Street from which she continued practising her midwifery until she became partially paralysed and was cared for by her children.MidwifeInterpreterEnglis

The 'true use of reading' : Sarah Fielding and mid eighteenth-century literary strategies.
No full textPhDThe aim of this thesis is to explore, by examining her life and
works, how Sarah Fielding (1710-68) established her identity as an author.
The definition of her role involves her notions of the functions of
writing and reading.
Sarah Fielding attempts to invite readers to form a sense of ties
by tacit understanding of her messages. As she believes that a work
of literature is produced through collaboration between the writer and
the reader, it is an important task in her view to show her attentiveness
toward reading practice. In her consideration of reading, she has two
distinct, even opposite views of her audience: on the one hand a familiar
and limited circle of readers with shared moral and cultural values and
on the other potential readers among the unknown mass of people. The
dual targets direct her to devise various strategies. She tries to
appeal to those who can endorse and appreciate her moral values as well
as her learning. Her writings and letters testify that she is sensitive
to the demands of the literary market, trying to lead the taste of readers
by inventing new forms.
The thesis opens with an overview of Sarah Fielding's career,
followed by a consideration of her critical attention to the roles of
reading. I go on to examine the narrative structures and strategies
she deploys, with a particular emphasis on her use of the epistolary
method. The following chapter deals with her attention to the reading
of the moral message tangibly embodied in her educational writing. It
is followed by an analysis of the activity which earned her a reputation
as a learned woman. Various as the forms of her works are, they invariably
reflect her attempt to balance herself between the two demands of
inventiveness and familiarity
