Women's Voices in Ireland examines the letters and problems sent in
by women to two Irish women's magazines in the 1950s and 60s,
discussing them within their wider social and historical context.
In doing so, it provides a unique insight into one of the few
forums for female expression in Ireland during this period.
Although in these decades more Irish women than ever before
participated in paid work, trade unions and voluntary
organizations, their representation in politics and public and
their workforce participation remained low. Meanwhile, women who
came of age from the late 1950s experienced a freedom which their
mothers and aunts - married or single, in the workplace or the home
- had never known. Diary and letters pages and problem pages in
Irish-produced magazines in the 1950s and 60s enabled women from
all walks of life to express their opinions and to seek guidance on
the social changes they saw happening around them. This book, by
examining these communications, gives a new insight into the
history of Irish women, and also contributes to the ongoing debate
about what women's magazines mean for women's history.
