A Woman's place is in the Cabinet
Between 1919 and 2019, just 10 per cent of those who have held senior ministerial positions in that 100 years have been women, totalling 19 women politicians. The women ministers have been high achievers in politics. They are trailblazers and, for the most part, have left a substantial legislative legacy. They fought the same political battles as men and made a considerable contribution to Irish life. This book addresses the contributions they have made. "I welcome this addition to Irish political history." Joan Burton TD, Minister for Social Protection 2011-2016 and Tánaiste 2014-2016.
Women, Social and Cultural Change in Twentieth Century Ireland
Drawing from a range of disciplines, this book pivots around the central concept of women, social and cultural change in Ireland during the twentieth century.

This collection represents not only the work of a vibrant research community but aims to make a lasting contribution to the study of women in twentieth century Ireland.

Women and the Irish Revolution
The narrative of the Irish revolution as a chronology of great men and male militarism, with women presumed to have either played a subsidiary role or no role at all, requires reconsideration. Women and feminists were extremely active in Irish revolutionary causes from 1912 onwards, but ultimately it was the men as revolutionary ‘leaders’ who took all the power, and indeed all the credit, after independence. Women from different backgrounds were activists in significant numbers and women across Ireland were profoundly impacted by the overall violence and tumult of the era, but they were then relegated to the private sphere, with the memory of their vital political and military role in th...
