This book explores 50 years of Irish women's prison writing,
1960s-2010s, connecting the work of women leaders and writers in
Northern Ireland during the Troubles. This volume analyzes
political communiques, petitions, news coverage, prison files,
personal letters, poetry and short prose, and memoirs, highlighting
the personal correspondence, auto/biographical narratives, and
poetry of the following key women: Bernadette McAliskey, Eileen
Hickey, Mairead Farrell, Sile Darragh, Ella O'Dwyer, Martina
Anderson, Dolours Price, Marian McGlinchey (formerly Marian Price),
Aine and Eibhlin Nic Giolla Easpaig (Ann and Eileen Gillespie),
Roseleen Walsh, and Margaretta D'Arcy. This text builds on
different fields and discourses to reimagine gender and genre as
central to an interdisciplinary and intersectional prison archive.
Centering Irish women's prison writings, in order to challenge
canonization in history and literature, this volume argues that
women's lives and words offer a different view of gender and nation
as well as offer a fuller and more inclusive archive of Irish
history and literature. Additionally, this book will point to the
ways in which their politics of everyday life and their cultural
work is a form of anti-colonial civil rights feminism, for it
speaks truth to power in a world in which compliance and silence
are valued. Overall, this text focuses on rethinking and recasting
women's voices and words in order to document and promote the
ongoing Irish freedom struggle from an abolitionist feminist
perspective.
