The Irish New Woman explores the textual and ideological
connections between feminist, nationalist and anti-imperialist
writing and political activism at the fin de siecle. From the 1880s
on, the 'Irish Question' was a central site of struggle in British
and Irish public discourse, and in this turbulent period a new
generation of Irish literary writers began to resist hegemonies of
a different kind, subverting gender and sexual identities and
challenging prescribed roles in the family. This important new book
is the first in-depth study which foregrounds the Irish and New
Woman contexts, effecting a paradigm shift in the critical
reception of fin de siecle writers and their work.
