商品簡介
This book is based on the second half of the author's PhD dissertation, completed in 2004 at NUI Maynooth. Matthews charts the rise and fall of the numbers of women involved in Irish politics during the period 1923-1941, from 10,000 women at the peak, to virtually none. She points to factors which led to women's decreasing membership in the Republican movement, such as in-fighting and the development of factions. The book contains b&w historical photos, plus about 60 pages of statements, documents, legislation, and rosters. Distributed in the US by Dufour Editions Inc.
