Women in Irish Society: The Historical Dimension, Vol. 11 - Margaret Mac Curtain - Hardcover

'œRead as a whole, this collection of ten essays provides a good overview of the status of women from early to modern times. The first three pieces deal with the political, social, and legal rights of women in the pre-Christian, Norman, and English periods; the last seven with attitudes of and toward women in politics, labor, the Church, and the family in the 19th and 20th centuries. Each essay is aimed at the general reader, but footnotes, suggestions for further reading, and an index make this a fine basic text for the reseacher in Irish and women's studies as well.'' Library JournalMac Curtain, Margaret is the author of 'Women in Irish Society: The Historical Dimension, Vol. 11 - Margaret Mac Curtain - Hardcover' with ISBN 9780313212543 and ISBN 0313212546.
