This is a groundbreaking examination of the attempts to regulate
female sexuality in twentieth-century Northern Ireland, which opens
up new and exciting areas of a previously neglected history. A
wide-ranging study, it explores the sexual experiences of women in
the context of the distinctive religious, political and social
circumstances of Northern Ireland during the twentieth century. The
commonality of attitudes of the Catholic Churches toward the
control of female sexuality is revealed, along with the similarity
of views concerning female behaviour. While the ways in which
various authorities tried to control female behaviour are explored,
it is also argued that women were not simply victims, but employed
a variety of survival strategies and active agency, no matter how
difficult their circumstances were. This work will appeal not only
to an academic audience but also to non-academic readers interested
in a new and exciting view of Northern Ireland's past. -- .
