Renegades: Irish Republican Women 1900-1922

Ann Matthews

4.9/5 (21939 ratings)

Description:This title examines the role and experiences of the women of Cumann na mBan and the Irish Citizen Army, who marched out with the Rebels to challenge the might of the British Empire on Easter Monday 1916. "Renegades" details the tragedies, triumphs, politics and conflicts experienced by Irish women during the country's War of Independence and Civil War. It will shock and possibly disturb any romanticised views of their role in this period of Irish history because the reality of the abuse of women within the general population by both sides in both Wars is absent in most histories of the period. But this 'war on women', which manifested itself in the form of physical and sexual assaults meant that many women suffered a terror that was not confined to armed conflict. The book also explores the separation of republican women during the Irish War of Independence and Civil War, into two distinct groups. Cumann na mBan members perceived their role to be purely military and so they did not engage in politics. On the other hand the political women, who by this time perceived themselves as the female political elite, were proactive in pursuit of a significant position in Irish politics, especially when the Sinn Fein party was reformed in October 1917.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
