Boasting new research from leading experts in Irish women’s writing, the essays explore representations of unmarried and widowed women in writing in order to better understand the historical trajectories of the ‘female celibate’ as a political and cultural figure in Ireland.

Edited by Dr Paul Fagan, Celibacy in Irish Women’s Writing 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.

It was a lovely and sunny Friday evening for the launch of Celibacy in Irish Women’s Writing in The James Joyce Centre ☀️ Two UCD Press authors, Leeann Lane (Mary MacSwiney, Dorothy Macardle, Rosamond Jacob) and Anne Fogarty (co-editor of Voices on Joyce) are contributors to the special collection 👏
