Women, Politics, and the Irish Public Sphere in the Age of Revolution

Women, Politics, and the Irish Public Sphere in the Age of Revolution

The book offers the first extended analysis of gender in Irish radical thought and post-rebellion commemoration. And, through a selection of case studies from across the religious and social spectrum, it explores how women conceived of themselves as political actors and navigated late eighteenth-century Ireland's intense ideological conflicts.
