Launch of Celibacy in Irish Women’s Writing
About the event
Celibacy in Irish Women's Writing, edited by Dr. Paul Fagan, is an open-access Humanities special issue dedicated to less familiar feminist, queer, and activist versions of celibacy in Irish women’s movements and literature. Boasting new research from leading experts in Irish women's writing, the essays explore representations of unmarried and widowed women in writing by Elizabeth Bowen, Kate O’Brien, Mary Lavin, Molly Keane, Eva Gore-Booth, Edna O’Brien, and more, in order to better understand the historical trajectories of the 'female celibate' as a political and cultural figure in Ireland.
Free, booking advised.
