Five Irish Women: The Second Republic, 1960-2016 Paperback - 2021
by Emer Nolan
From the rear cover
Edna O'Brien, Sinad O'Connor, Nuala O'Faolain, Bernadette McAliskey and Anne Enright have all dramatically communicated their own experiences as women in a patriarchal, unequal Ireland.
Each of these five women is, individually, remarkable. But taken together, we witness how, in part through their composite work, the Ireland that dislocated and repelled them was itself reimagined and changed. It is precisely their intimacy with the country, including its structural injustices, that inspired their effort to create a new ethical dimension that, through a culpable ignorance, the polity had lacked. This was an idea of Ireland to which for the first time women, not men, had privileged access. In a series of five interlinked portraits, Emer Nolan shows how these distinguished women make sense of their formative experiences as Irish people and how they in turn have been understood as vibrant figures in whom liberating aspects of modernity in Ireland have been realised. Considering journalism, literature, life-writing, songs and speeches, she explores these women's responses to the legacies of Catholicism, nationalism, radical politics and Ireland's rich artistic traditions. Theirs is a condemnation and a redemption, an unforgettable achievement. This is an essential book for readers interested in current debates in modern Irish culture or in questions about gender and the nation in Ireland and beyond.Details

Description:
Manchester University Press, 2021 Book. New. Soft cover. Five Irish Women is comprised of five interlinked portraits of exceptional Irish women from various fields - literature, journalism, music, politics - who have achieved outstanding reputations since the 1960s: Edna O'Brien, Sinéad O'Connor, Nuala O'Faolain, Bernadette McAliskey and Anne Enright. Several of these could claim to be among the best-known Irish people of their day. The book looks at their achievements -- works of art in some cases, but also life-writing, interviews and speeches - and at their reception in Ireland and elsewhere, shedding light on some of their shared preoccupations, including equality, sexuality and nationalism. The main focus is on the ways in which these distinguished women make sense of their formative experiences as Irish people and how they in turn have been understood as representative figures in modern Ireland..
