Rezensionen
"This very welcome collection, featuring work by anthropologists and historians, offers an incisive look at Irish gender politics that I appreciate, first and foremost, because it is thoroughly intersectional. ... A much needed, expertly executed contribution to the conversation in Irish Studies, Women's Studies and Irish Women's Studies, it is well worth the investment and should perhaps be considered compulsory reading for students and scholars in these areas as well as Gender Studies more broadly." (Maureen E. Ruprecht Fadem, Irish Studies Review, Vol. 26 (1), December, 2017)
