In the poems, Truganinny and Julia by Wendy Rose, both of the women could very well be considered outcasts. By outcast, I mean that both of these women were very different than the rest of the people that were around them. For example, Truganinny was sadly the last person of her kind. Her husband died and she was left all alone. Her husband was stuffed and showed off to the world. That was one thing that she did not like what so ever. Truganinny had a dream to die out, far away from everyone so she could be all by herself with absolutly no one able to find her.
In the second one of Wendy Rose's poems, this poor woman Julia is very different. She was born with a defect in which she grows hair on her face. She was always described as "The World's Ugliest Woman" or in other cases "Lion Lady". She was an outcast becasue no one saw what was on the inside of her, they all saw the outside. Julia was very different than everyone else becasue of her hair and such. When she died she was stuffed and put into a glass case. She was showed off to many people when she was alive and when she was dead.
