Download or read book Women Press and Politics During the Irish Revival written by Karen Steele and published by Syracuse University Press. This book was released on 2007-04-23 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Women, Press, and Politics explores the literary and historical significance of women writing for the most influential body of nationalist journalism during the Irish revival, the advanced nationalist press. This work studies women’s writings in the Irish national tradition, focusing in particular on leading feminine voices in the cultural and political movements that helped launch the Eater Rising of 1916: Augusta Gregory, Alice Milligan, Maud Gonne, Constance Markievicz, Delia Larkin, Hanna Sheehy Skeffington, and Louie Bennett. Karen Steele argues that by examining the innovative work of these writers from the perspective of women’s artistry and women’s political investments, we can best appreciate the expansive range of their cultural productions and the influence these had on other nationalists, who went on to shape Irish politics and culture in the decades to come.
Download or read book Irish Women at Work 1930 1960 written by Elizabeth Kiely and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At the heart of this book is an exploration of how women negotiated their identities as workers and the very real challenges of accessing and remaining in the workplace in a sociocultural context that encouraged home-based marriage and motherhood as primary roles for women. The obstacles women encountered in relation to employment in terms of limited access to education, restricted employment opportunities and profound gender discrimination are revealed. So too are the ways in which women resisted, challenged and negotiated the limited roles prescribed during these decades. --Book Jacket.

Book excerpt: This book assessed the impact of conflict on women in 20th century Ireland, and how women responded to and influenced these conflicts. Their roles ranged from combatants, pioneers and workers, victims and survivors, prisoners, poets, playwrights and artists. Drawing on original research from a range of international scholars, this book considers women and war through a myriad of themes- militarism, morality, political activism and motherhood- through the lens of a variety of sources.

Book excerpt: The story of the Irish revolutionary period in the early twentieth century from the perspective of female activists. This book highlights a time when vast numbers of Irish women were politicised and imprisoned for their beliefs, with a special emphasis on one prison, Kilmainham Gaol. The women portrayed in the book represent all walks of life: shop assistants, doctors, housewives, laundry workers, artists, teachers. There were married women, mothers, single and widowed women and even mere schoolchildren. They played a full role in the revolutions, acting as spies, couriers, snipers, gun-runners, medics, and endured the full rigours of prison life.

Download or read book Women in the Struggle for Irish Independence written by Joseph McKenna and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2019-10-31 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Women have too often been written out of history. This is especially true in the fight for Irish independence. The women's struggle was three-fold, beginning with the suffragettes' fight to win the vote. Then came the push for fair pay and working conditions. Binding them together became part of the national struggle, first for home rule, then for the establishment of an Irish Republic. The Easter Rising of 1916 brought them together as soldiers of the Republic. Through the terrible years that followed, they became the conscience of Republicanism. Following independence, they were betrayed by the men they had served alongside. DeValera and the Catholic Church restricted their roles in society--they were to be wives and mothers without a voice. It was not until Ireland's entry into the European community and the self destruction of a corrupt Church that Irish women were acknowledged for what they had achieved.
Download or read book Women Workers in the Second World War written by Penny Summerfield and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-03-05 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Second World War is often seen as a period of emancipation, because of the influx of women into paid work, and because the state took steps to relieve women of domestic work. This study challenges such a picture. The state approached the removal of women from the domestic sphere with extreme caution, in spite of the desperate need for women’s labour in war work. Women’s own preferences were frequently neglected or distorted in the search for a compromise between production and patriarchy. However, the enduring practices of paying women less and treating them as an inferior category of workers led to growth in the numbers and proportions of women employed after the war in many areas of work. Penny Summerfield concludes that the war accelerated the segregation of women in 'inferior' sectors of work, and inflated the expectation that working women would bear the double burden without a redistribution of responsibility for the domestic sphere between men, women and the state. First published in 1984, this is an important book for students of history, sociology and women’s studies at all levels.
Download or read book Women in Ireland written by Jenny Beale and published by Bloomington, Ind. : Indiana University Press. This book was released on 1987 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "... a dramatic overview of the changing life-styles and values of women in the Republic of Ireland." --Choice "Beale's study is engaging, informative and thought provoking." --Women's Studies International Forum "... an intriguing look at women determined to participate in the struggle for the long haul, women who could easily have thrown up their hands in despair, and backed away from an all-too-powerful Catholic heirarchy. That they have not done this is inspiring, and reinforces the truism that "sisterhood is global." --Belles Lettres Beale's analysis shows that although Ireland is still a deeply conservative society with respect to sexual morality and the ideology of the family, it also has a lively women's movement, which has won significant improvements for women.
