This revised edition includes a New Intergalactic Introduction by the Author. Mary Daly's New Intergalactic Introduction explores her process as a Crafty Pirate on the Journey of Writing Gyn/Ecology and reveals the autobiographical context of this "Thunderbolt of Rage" that she first hurled against the patriarchs in 1979 and no hurls again in the Re-Surging Movement of Radical Feminism in the Be-Dazzling Nineties.
This is the first textbook on the history of modern Ireland to adopt a social history perspective. Written by an international team of leading scholars, it draws on a wide range of disciplinary approaches and consistently sets Irish developments in a wider European and global context.
The recent radical cutbacks of the welfare state in the United Kingdom have kept poverty and income management at the heart of intellectual, public, and policy discourse. This innovative book adds to that conversation, taking as its focus the role and significance of family in the context of poverty and low-income conditions. Based on a micro-level study carried out in 2011 and 2012 with fifty-one families in Northern Ireland, it draws from fresh empirical evidence to offer a new theorization of the relationship between family life and poverty. Different chapters explore such topics as parenting, the management of money, family support, and local engagement. Together, they detail the practices of constructing and managing family life and relationships in circumstances of poverty, making this book of interest to a wide readership including policy makers.
This is a selection of writings by women from Ireland, Australia, England, Canada (and other countries) compiled and edited by Irish-Australian poet, Lizz Murphy. A moving and often amusing collection of fiction, poetry, and autobiography by top-selling and award-winning writers. There is a wildness and daring in these voices. They call up the legions out of the sea and set fires alight. They hang out over garden fences, move restlessly, are beaming, weeping, powerful.
This book attempts to contribute to the growing understanding of the dimensions of Catholic antifeminism. Although it proposes no instant remedy for an illness of such proportions, it suggests some perspectives in which a cure may be found. Although its chief concern is the problem as it exists in and is perpetuated by the Catholic Church, it never assumes that prejudice within the Church persists without some support from the secular milieu. Ironically, however, the Church in recent times has been in increasingly evident tension with those movements which have been attempting to liberate women.
The original edition of Unseen London. Peter Dazeley has gained access to the hidden interiors of some of London's most iconic buildings, from Tower Bridge to Battersea Power Station, Big Ben to the Old Bailey. His photographs of these buildings - some derelict, but many still working - are astonishing. Here is a collection of some 50 extraordinary locations, with a thoughtful text by Mark Daly which tells the story of how each of these places was created, how they are used, and what they reveal about the currents of power flowing through the city. Unseen London takes you backstage at some of the capital's great theatres, into the changing rooms of some of our greatest temples of sport, into the heart of the Establishment, the boiler room of the city's infrastructure and behind the scenes at some of the most opulent buildings in the Square Mile.
