A History of Women in Ireland,
15001800

WOMEN AND MEN IN HISTORY

---

This series, published for students, scholars and interested general readers, will tackle themes in gender history from the early medieval period through to the present day. Gender issues are now an integral part of all history courses and yet many traditional texts do not reflect this change. Much exciting work is now being done to redress the gender imbalances of the past, and we hope that these books will make their own substantial contribution to that process. We hope that these will both synthesise and shape future developments in gender studies.

The General Editors of the series are Patricia Skinner (University of Southampton) for the medieval period; Pamela Sharpe (University of Bristol) for the early modern period; and Penny Summerfield (University of Lancaster) for the modern period. Margaret Walsh (University of Nottingham) was the Founding Editor of the series.

Contents

I have received help and support from many people in the preparation of this book. First, I must thank the staff in the many archival institutions and libraries that I visited while researching the volume. I would like especially to express my appreciation of the staff in the library at Queens University, Belfast: Florence Gray, Mary Kelly, Michael Smallman and Deirdre Wildy, who were unfailingly helpful and often went out of their way to locate material that I requested. My thanks are also due to the staff in four other institutions that I used on a regular basis: the National Archives of Ireland, the National Library of Ireland, the Public Record Office of Northern Ireland and the library and Manuscript Room in Trinity College Dublin. For permission to consult manuscript sources in their possession, I am grateful to these and to the other archival institutions listed in the bibliography.

Secondly, I would like to express my thanks to Margaret MacCurtain who read the text and commented on it with characteristic insight and perceptiveness. The final manuscript is undoubtedly the better for Margarets observations. I am also indebted to Pamela Sharpe who was the reader for the publishers. Without Pamelas support it is likely that the staff at Pearson Education would have given up the long wait for the appearance of the volume! While writing the book, I benefited enormously from conversations and discussions with my co-editors on the Field Day Anthology of Irish Writing project: Angela Bourke, Mirn N Dhonnchadha, Siobhn Kilfeather, Maria Luddy, Gerardine Meaney and Clair Wills as well as Margaret MacCurtain.

Many others provided help and assistance in various forms. They include Toby Barnard, Eileen Black, Caroline Bowden, Ciarn Brady, Richard Butterwick, Nicholas Canny, Aidan Clarke, Anne Crookshank, David Dickson, Mairad Dunlevy, Alan Ford, Neal Garnham, Ian Green, Ultan Gillen, Angus Haldane, David Hayton, Grinne Henry, Andrew Holmes, Peter Jupp, James Kelly, Liam Kennedy, Phil Kilroy, Colm Lennon, John Logan, Marian Lyons, Eoin Magennis, James McGuire, Kerby Miller, James Murray, Katherine ODonnell, Anne ODowd, Jane Ohlmeyer, Kevin ONeill, Ciarn O Scea, Harold OSullivan, Rosemary Raughter, Nini Rodgers, Glenn Thompson, Mary Helen Thuente, Bernadette Whelan and Sabine Wichert.
