Where Are We Now? New Feminist Perspectives on Women in Contemporary Ireland

Edited by Ursula Barry, this book sets out the position of women in Ireland today and analyses the dramatic changes which have taken place in the economic and social situations of different groups of women.

In each of the nine chapters the reader is introduced to a wealth of new information, insight and feminist analysis about the economic world of women and their experience of lone parenting, lesbian motherhood, migration, ageing, violence, poverty, debt and caring.

The authors are all key feminist writers and thinkers, who have played central roles in critically analysing and challenging public policy in Ireland from the standpoint of women.
