This book provides an overview of Irish gender history from the end
of the Great Famine in 1852 until the foundation of the Irish Free
State in 1922. It builds on the work that scholars of women's
history pioneered and brings together internationally regarded
experts to offer a synthesis of the current historiography and
existing debates within the field. The authors place emphasis on
highlighting new and exciting sources, methodologies, and suggested
areas for future research. They address a variety of critical
themes such as the family, reproduction and sexuality, the medical
and prison systems, masculinities and femininities, institutions,
charity, the missions, migration, 'elite women', and the
involvement of women in the Irish nationalist/revolutionary period.
Envisioned to be both thematic and chronological, the book provides
insight into the comparative, transnational, and connected
histories of Ireland, India, and the British empire. An important
contribution to the study of Irish gender history, the volume
offers opportunities for students and researchers to learn from the
methods and historiography of Irish studies. It will be useful for
scholars and teachers of history, gender studies, colonialism,
post-colonialism, European history, Irish history, Irish studies,
and political history. The Open Access version of this book,
