Marital violence in post-independence Ireland, 1922-96 represents
the first comprehensive history of marital violence in modern
Ireland, from the founding of the Irish Free State in 1922 to the
passage of the Domestic Violence Act and the legalisation of
divorce in 1996. Based upon extensive research of under-used court
records, this groundbreaking study sheds light on the attitudes,
practices, and laws surrounding marital violence in
twentieth-century Ireland. While many men beat their wives with
impunity throughout this period, victims of marital violence had
little refuge for at least fifty years after independence. During a
time when most abused wives remained locked in violent marriages,
this book explores the ways in which men, women, and children
responded to marital violence. It raises important questions about
women's status within marriage and society, the nature of family
life, and the changing ideals and lived realities of the modern
marital experience in Ireland. -- .
