This book explores the lives, careers, and social and political activism of a diverse group of women historians in Ireland, contributing to the study of the Irish historical tradition and the study of women historians in an international context. It addresses debates about gender and history, modern Irish historiography and Irish women's history.


Many Irish historians, women as well as men, have combined scholarship with social and political activism. A 'Manly Study'? Irish Women Historians, 1868-1949 brings to light the lives, careers, and social and political engagement of some fascinating Irish women historians, including Alice Stopford Green, Eleanor Hull, Dorothy Macardle, and Rosamond Jacob, during a transformative period in Irish history. Women historians in Ireland have made important contributions to medieval, early modern, and contemporary Irish history, worked as academics, journalists, and archivists, and taken part in diverse movements including Feminism and Nationalism. This book discusses Irish women historians in the development of the Irish historical profession as a whole, and in relation to women historians in an international context.
