As
we are proceeding through the ‘decade of centenaries’ it is important to
reflect also on some important landmarks in women’s history in Ireland. 2015
marks a trifecta of anniversaries that have had a significant impact on the
course of women’s history in Ireland: it is forty years since the UN declared it
to be the International Women’s Year when global reflections and celebrations
of women occurred; it is also forty years since the ground-breaking Thomas
Davis series of lectures that was to become Women in Irish Society: The
Historical Dimension, edited by Margaret Mac Curtain and Donncha Ó Corráin, often seen as
the foundational text of the discipline of women’s history in Ireland; and
finally, it is forty years since the foundation of the publisher of that
collection, Arlen House, a stoic supporter of scholars in the field since its
inception. This event seeks to reflect on the seminal essays contained in Women in Irish
Society through
a roundtable delivered by a range of scholars reflecting on the impact of the
book and the future of women’s history in Ireland.
