Description

This volume investigates how gender dynamics influenced the political outcomes of the Anglo-Irish Treaty and the subsequent formation of the Dail. By analyzing the political activity of female deputies and republican activists, it offers a necessary correction to narratives that often overlook or minimize their involvement in state-building. It is a critical resource for scholars of Irish political history, republicanism, and feminist studies.

Core academic and research frameworks within this literary edition:

• Textual and Political Micro-Analytics: Investigates political pamphlets, Dail records, and personal correspondence to map female influence on treaty-era politics.

• Socio-Political Context Mapping: Examines the ideological tensions between republicanism and state-building, viewed through the lens of gendered political participation.

• Gold-Standard Scholarly Quality: Meticulously annotated with primary source references and an in-depth analysis of the treaty’s impact on parliamentary representation.
