Summary: |
"The Irish New Woman" explores the textual and ideological connections between feminist, nationalist and anti-imperialist writing and political activism at the "fin de s{EFBFBD}icle". From the 1880s on, the 'Irish Question' was a central site of struggle in British and Irish public discourse, and in this turbulent period a new generation of Irish literary writers began to resist hegemonies of a different kind, subverting gender and sexual identities and challenging prescribed roles in the family. This important new book is the first in-depth study which foregrounds the Irish and New Woman contexts, effecting a paradigm shift in the critical reception of "fin de s{EFBFBD}icle" writers and their work. |
