Irish Women in the First World War Era: Irish Womens Lives, 1914-18: summary, description and annotation

We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Irish Women in the First World War Era: Irish Womens Lives, 1914-18" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

This book is the first collection of essays to focus exclusively on Irish womens experiences in the First World War period, 1914-18, across the island of Ireland, contextualising the wartime realities of womens lives in a changing political landscape.

The essays consider experiences ranging from the everyday realities of poverty and deprivation, to the contributions made to the war effort by women through philanthropy and by working directly with refugees. Gendered norms and assumptions about womens behaviour are critically analysed, from the rhetoric surrounding separation women and their use of alcohol, to the navigation of public spaces and the attempts to deter women from perceived immoral behaviour. Political life is also examined by leading scholars in the field, including accounts from women on both sides of the Irish question and the impact the war had on their activism and ambitions. Finally, new light is shed on the experiences of women working in munitions factories around Ireland and the complexity of this work in the Irish context is explored. Throughout, it is asserted that while there were many commonalities in womens experiences throughout the British and Irish Isles at this time, the particular political context of Ireland added a different, and in many respects an unexamined, dimension.

This book was originally published as a special issue of Womens History Review.

This book is the first collection of essays to focus exclusively on Irish womens experiences in the First World War period, 191418, across the island of Ireland, contextualising the wartime realities of womens lives in a changing political landscape.
The essays consider experiences ranging from the everyday realities of poverty and deprivation to the contributions made to the war effort by women through philanthropy and by working directly with refugees.
