Summary:

Engendering Ireland is a collection of ten essays showcasing the importance of gender in a variety of disciplines. These essays interrogate gender as a concept which encompasses both masculinity and femininity, and which permeates history and literature, culture and society in the modern period. The collection includes historical research which situates Irish women workers within an international economic context; textual analysis which sheds light on the effects of modernity on the home and rising female expectations in the post-war era; the rediscovery of significant Irish women modernists s

Notes:

"This collection of essays emanates from the 2012 conference 'Gender and Irish Society in the 19th and 20th Centuries: New Perspectives and New Ideas', held at the Moore Institute for the Humanities and Social Sciences at the National University of Ireland, Galway (NUI Galway)"--Acknowledgement.
