Irish Republican Women in America
"The political astuteness and success of Irish republican women during this period far surpassed the achievements of their sisters in other parts of the world. This book celebrates the heroism, conviction and enormous self-sacrifice of these women, who left their family and friends in a war-torn Ireland to further the cause of freedom for their country."--BOOK JACKET.

Women, Revolution, and Autobiographical Writing in the Twentieth Century
This book considers issues of gender and representation through an analysis of twentieth-century female revolutionary figures from Ireland, Spain, Cuba, Nicaragua, and El Salvador. Since revolutions (and their siblings - civil wars) occasion social transformation under often chaotic conditions, they open up space for the potential transformation of gender relations. These women's life writings illustrate gender relations in flux, expose the political symbolism of the strong woman at moments of nation formation and transformation, and display the multiple ways that gender enters into literary, historical, and visual narratives.
The New York Irish
Providing a vivid example of how newcomers encountered America, this is the story of Irish immigrants and their descendants in New York--a history almost as old as the city itself. The authors examine Irish-American life in the city while addressing issues that affected immigrants throughout the U.S. 32 illustrations.
British Feminism in the Twentieth Century
'This is an exciting collection that proves - once again - that feminist activity continued after suffrage was won. In a lively series of essays we meet both familiar figures, such as Eleanor Rathbone and Vera Brittain, as well as the unjustly forgotten, who struggled for equal pay, greater job opportunities, better access to birth control and child benefits in an increasingly hostile political climate.' - Martha Vicinus, University of Michigan, US
