Description

Leanne Calvert, Susan Marie Martin and Caroline West in conversation with Mary McAuliffe.

Join us for an eye-opening discussion tracing the treatment of women in Ireland across three centuries, uncovering stories of struggle and resilience from the 1700s to today. Leanne Calvert’s Pious and Promiscuous (Royal Irish Academy) offers an intimate glimpse of life in 18th century Presbyterian Ulster. Susan Marie Martin’s Dublin women street traders, 1882 - 1932 (Four Courts Press) explores challenges faced, and actions taken. Caroline West’s Wrong Women (Eriu) is a feminist history of the Monto, Europe’s largest red-light district from the 19th into the 20th century. Join the authors in conversation with historian Mary McAuliffe.
