Summary:

"This book illuminates the often-overlooked story of early modern Irish women who were shaped by the religious and intellectual currents of the Reformation and Counter-Reformation. Through detailed biographical accounts, the book restores these women to their rightful place in history, offering a nuanced understanding of their contributions and the broader social and religious contexts in which they lived. Researchers and general readers with an interest in women's history, gender studies, and early modern Irish history will find something of interest here."-- Provided by publisher.
