Factors of avoidability: Maternal mortality in Northern Ireland, 1948–1969
Modern Ireland lacks a comprehensive history of maternal mortality. With the mid-twentieth century advent of what Northern Ireland’s leading gynaecologist labelled ‘a social obstetric conscience’, maternal mortality came to increased levels of prominence. This coincided with the introduction of the National Health Service (NHS) in 1948 but reducing the rate of maternal mortality took decades in Northern Ireland (NI), with the decline being often …
Understanding the Attraction: Prison Tourism and the Public Gaze
Research undertaken in three decommissioned English prisons offers fresh insight into public attraction. Employing interviews with prison tourists, it reveals dark incentives rooted in historical and cultural representations of punishment, an inherent desire to look beyond the prison walls, and a fascination towards a concept I define as Abstract Death and Suffering

Irish Divorce: A History
This is the first history of Irish divorce. Spanning the island of Ireland over three centuries, it places the human experience of marriage breakdown centre stage to explore the impact of a highly restrictive and gendered law and its reform. It considers the accessibility of Irish divorce as it moved from a parliamentary process in Westminster, the Irish parliament and the Northern Ireland parliament to a court-based process. This socio-legal app…
Abortion, emotions, and health provision: Explaining health care professionals' willingness to provide abortion care using affect theory
This article interrogates health care professionals' (HCPs) decision to withdraw from or provide abortion care using cultural theories of affect and emotion. It argues that emotional reactions to imagined futures influence the actions of health care practitioners. This proposition draws together cultural theory of affect with qualitative evidence from a scoping study of abortion care and Ireland. Our analysis suggests that discussions as to why c…
Unionism, Orangeism and War
This article explores the impact of the First World War on female unionism and orangeism. The period of political crisis in Ireland that preceded the war mobilised unprecedented numbers of women into political and quasi-political associations. Determined that Ireland would remain under the Act of Union, members of the Ulster Women’s Unionist Council and Association of Loyal Orangewomen embraced rather than challenged gender difference. The unioni…
Ireland and the Divorce and Matrimonial Causes Act of 1857
This article examines the reasons for and impact of Ireland’s exclusion from the Divorce and Matrimonial Causes Act of 1857. From the eighteenth century, Irish citizens brought private divorce bills to the Irish parliament and to Westminster. The Act of Union in 1800 restricted Irish bills for divorce to Westminster but with the creation of a London divorce court as a result of the 1857 act, the parliamentary basis of divorce was restricted to Ir…
Irish Divorce and Domestic Violence, 1857-1922
Ireland was excluded from the Divorce and Matrimonial Causes Act of 1857, which moved divorce proceedings from parliament to court. Whilst other areas of the Empire were encouraged to follow the 1857 reform, Ireland retained the costlier, lengthier and more socially and gender biased parliamentary process. Louisa Westropp's divorce of 1886 was the first divorce granted by Westminster to an Irishwoman and established legal precedent in applying ca…
Renegades: Irish republican women, 1900–1922
Ann Matthews, Cork, Mercier Press, 2010, 414 pp., €19.99 (paperback), ISBN 9781856356848 Renegades' central theme is the ‘dual aspect’ (11) which emerged in female republicanism from 1900 to 1922
Ireland’s criminal conversations
Criminal conversation, the legal action whereby a husband could bring a case for monetary damages against a man his wife had committed adultery with, was more widely discussed in 1970s-80s Ireland than at any other time in its three-century history. Popularly known as crim. con., the short-hand for criminal conversation meaning adultery, this process was based on trespass and, as women were legally seen as the property of their husbands, was only…

The Ladies of Londonderry: Women and Political Patronage
Against a backdrop of increasing democracy and the associated process of aristocratic decline, this book examines the political influence of the leading Tory hostesses, the Marchionesses of Londonderry. Over one hundred and fifty years, from 1800–1959, these women were patrons and confidantes to key political figures such as Disraeli, Bonar Law, Edward Carson and Ramsay MacDonald. By the late 19th century upper-class women were at the height of t…
An articulate and definite cry for political freedom: The Ulster Suffrage Movement
This article analyses the development of the Ulster suffrage movement and assesses the impact of the third Irish home rule crisis of 1912-14 on the much lauded, although always tenuous, unity of Irish suffragism. The tensions caused by the decision of Ulster unionists to grant women's suffrage under their plans for a provisional government are considered. In addition to this, the establishment of a branch of the Women's Social and Political Union…
