Like the mythical Irish banshee who delivered fore-warnings of imminent death, Irish American women, through their writing, have repeatedly warned of the death of womens rights. These messages carried the greatest potency at liminal times when feminism was under attack due to the politics of civil society, the government, or the church.The Banshees traces the feminist contributions of a wide range of Irish American women writers, from Mother Jones, Kate Chopin, and Margaret Mitchell to contemporary authors such as Gillian Flynn, Jennifer Egan, and Doris Kearns Goodwin. To illustrate the growth and significance of their writing, the book is organized chronologically by decade. Each chapter details the progress and setbacks of Irish American women during that period by revealing key themes in their novels and memoirs contextualized within a discussion of contemporary feminism, Catholicism, Irish American history, American politics, and society. The Banshees examines these writers roles in protecting womens sovereignty, rights, and reputations. Thanks to their efforts, feminism is revealed as a fundamental element of Irish American literary history....2857328The Banshees590819https://www.gandhi.com.mx/the-banshees-9780815652403/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/2244742/46000eab-1e43-4887-a728-4e77c545fb19.jpg?v=638383708833070000InStockMXN99999DIEbook20139780815652403_W3siaWQiOiI4NmM3ZTQ1YS03MWQ0LTQyZmUtODljNS04NDg1MmY2MmUxNzAiLCJsaXN0UHJpY2UiOjc5OSwiZGlzY291bnQiOjIyNCwic2VsbGluZ1ByaWNlIjo1NzUsImluY2x1ZGVzVGF4Ijp0cnVlLCJwcmljZVR5cGUiOiJXaG9sZXNhbGUiLCJjdXJyZW5jeSI6Ik1YTiIsImZyb20iOiIyMDI0LTEyLTAxVDAwOjAwOjAwWiIsInJlZ2lvbiI6Ik1YIiwiaXNQcmVvcmRlciI6ZmFsc2V9XQ==9780815652403_Although much has been written about American feminism and its influence on culture and society, very little has been recorded about the key role played by Irish American women writers in exposing womens issues, protecting their rights, and anticipating, if not effecting, change.
