The tremendous changes to the social, economic, educational and personal lives of Irish women are discussed and analyzed here in terms of the everyday performance of being a woman in Ireland, and the everyday negotiation of gender roles and expectations in Irish society in the twenty-first century.
The essays address such disparate areas as the visibility of women practitioners in the 2011 Dublin Theatre Festival; stand-up comedy; dramatic representations of gender and sexuality; gender and the iconography of the nation; women and publishing; motherhood; activism; and reproductive rights.
This collection speaks to national issues that continue to concern women around the globe.
