Women, Reform, and Resistance documents the challenges faced by Irish women from 1850 to 1950 and their complex reactions. By investigating prisons, and hospitals; interrogating court records and memoirs; and exploring the 'imaginative resistance' women expressed through folk tales; authors illuminate previously obscured experiences of Irish women.
“This very welcome collection, featuring work by anthropologists and historians, offers an incisive look at Irish gender politics that I appreciate, first and foremost, because it is thoroughly intersectional. … A much needed, expertly executed contribution to the conversation in Irish Studies, Women’s Studies and Irish Women’s Studies, it is well worth the investment and should perhaps be considered compulsory reading for students and scholars in these areas as well as Gender Studies more broadly.” (Maureen E. Ruprecht Fadem, Irish Studies Review, Vol. 26 (1), December, 2017)
