In a recent blog post for the Women’s History Association of Ireland [2], Caitriona Clear reflected on how Irish women’s history had now reached a critical mass ‘whereby it does not need to be identified with any one historian or any group of historians’. She went on to suggest that following a recent article in Irish Tatler magazine on Irish women’s history ‘girls and women who never thought they were interested in history at all will read for relaxation and comfort, at home, in coffee shops, on buses, and in hairdressers’ about the past lives of Irish women’.(1)
