The Irish Womens Movement: From Revolution to Devolution

This book provides a comprehensive analysis of the emergence, consolidation, and development of the Irish womens movement in the course of the 20th century. It illuminates the processes through which the movement and its networks of organizations came to fruition as agencies of social change. Connolly argues that the Irish womens movement is characterized by its interconnectedness and continuity: its central tensions, themes, and organizing strategies connect diverse organizations and constituencies.
