Brings together in one volume the diverse and marvelously
articulate voices of seventeen Irish women writers from a variety
of backgrounds and geographic locations. Caitriona Moloney and
Helen Thompson's interviews examine the complicated maps of
experience that these women's public, private, and literary lives
represent, particularly as they engage with both feminism and
postcolonialism. Acknowledging Mary Robinson's revised view of
Irish identity as global rather than insular, this work recognizes
the importance of identity as a site of mobility. The interviews
reveal how complex the terms "feminism" and "postcolonialism" are;
they examine how the individual writers see their identities
constructed and/or mediated by sexuality. Between the interviews,
the authors trace common themes of female agency, violence,
generational conflicts, migration, emigration, religion, and
politics to name a few. The collection testifies to the lively and
diverse nature of contemporary Irish women's literature, and it
explodes myths about Irish women and Irishness in general.
