About This Item
New York: Houghton Mifflin Co, 1993. First Edition, First Printing. Hardcover with Dust Jacket. Near Fine/Near Fine.
The bindings are tight and square. Text clean, light even toning. Moderate shelf handling wear. 9.5 inches tall; 307 pages. . A compelling compilation of narratives unfolds the modern Irish landscape, a realm where women, until recently, remained largely invisible in political arenas, religious institutions, legal systems, and social gatherings. These tales resonate with themes of resilience, upheaval, and the persistent grip of tradition.
This poignant portrayal of contemporary Irish women is brought to life by Mahoney, whose deep familial roots in Ireland led her to spend a formative year of high school there. Returning in 1991, she embarked on a journey to explore the evolving roles of women in a society where legal constraints on divorce and abortion, coupled with rigid gender norms, shaped their identities primarily in relation to men.
