This volume studies the manifestations of female trauma through the
exploration of multiple wounds, inflicted on both body and mind
(Caruth 1996, 3) and the soul of Irish women from Northern Ireland
and the Republic within a contemporary context, and in literary
works written at the turn of the twenty-first century and beyond.
These artistic manifestations connect tradition and modernity,
debunk myths, break the silence with the exposure of uncomfortable
realities, dismantle stereotypes and reflect reality with
precision. Women's issues and female experiences depicted in
contemporary fiction may provide an explanation for past and
present gender dynamics, revealing a pathway for further
renegotiation of gender roles and the achievement of equilibrium
and equality between sexes. These works might help to seal and heal
wounds both old and new and offer solutions to the quandaries of
tomorrow.
