The Irish Women's History Reader is an exciting collection of essays revealing the tremendous diversity of women's experiences in Ireland's past.

* historiography and the development of, and writing of, women's history in Ireland
* politics and the variety of political activities undertaken by women including suffrage, nationalism and unionism
* health and sexuality revealing hidden histories of sexual activity, mental illness and attempts to control fertility
