Single Mothers in Twentieth‐Century Ireland and Britain: Pregnancy, Migration and Institutionalization
Fifty Years On: Rethinking the Legacies of Australia’s International Women’s Year 1975
In 1996, Australian Historical Studies published a special issue with the theme ‘Twenty Years On’, marking twenty years since International Women’s Year, 1975, a year which also saw the publishing
Solidarity and colonial analogies in Irish republican feminists’ discursive practices, 1890s–1980s
The Emotional Labour of Feminism: Australia’s International Women’s Year 1975
International Women’s Year (IWY 1975) presented Australian feminists with both unprecedented opportunities and responsibilities. This created a highly volatile and emotional year. Some feminists have left us with written accounts of the emotional turmoil of the year. In this article, Crozier-De Rosa performs a much closer reading of IWY emotions to establish commonalities of feelings, expectations of feelings, and the strategies employed by women…
Intergenerational emotions and family history: Temporal feelings and national stories
Intergenerational emotions highlight the feelings that we have for our ancestors and descendants, drawing attention to a lineage of feeling and its temporalities. This article revisits the idea of intergenerational emotions as a conceptual tool and methodological approach that is used to explore how we grapple with feelings that persist across time, and which draws attention to the importance of temporalities in shaping social structures and emot…

She is finally home”: Feminist storytelling, family imaginaries and transnational solidarity in Irish abortion activism
Across the so-called West, feminist storytelling positions reproductive justice and the often-twinned issue of women's place within the family as a progressive issue. This conveniently ignores the inherent contradictions of the existence of only limited access to abortion in many Western nations, as well as parallel histories of access to reproductive justice in non-Western countries. Postcolonial Ireland, as an apparently Western country with a …

The pasts, presents and futures of transnational and global Irish Studies: “Snapshots”
As with any other discipline, we are periodically drawn towards reviewing the trajectory of Irish Studies, contemplating possible future directions: What is happening now?What should come next?Four scholars at varying stages of their academic careers and located in tertiary institutions in Ireland, USA, and Australia address these questions with specific reference to the transnational or global aspects of Irish Studies, a key focus of this specia…
"Delighting in fighting "a womanless past: Remembering Dale Spender (1943-2023)
In November 2023, Australian-born literary scholar and feminist historian Dale Spender (1943–2023) passed away. Anyone researching early Australian women writers knows of Spender. Perhaps others do not. Yet, her memory is vital for those invested in uncovering the immense and invaluable contribution of women to the making of nineteenth- and twentieth century history (in the 'West'). In this dedication to her memory, I focus on Spender's commitmen…
The Suffrage Movement and the Politics of Memory
The Suffrage Movement and the Politics of Memory Sharon Crozier-De Rosa and Marc Calvini-Lefebvre (bio) ON APRIL 24, 2018, British suffragist leader Millicent Garrett Fawcett (1847–1929) became the first woman to be honoured with a permanent statue in Parliament Square, 186 years after George Canning, the first of her 11 male predecessors.1 The unveiling was the culmination of a two-year campaign initiated by activist Caroline Criado Perez.

The future of gendered pasts: Thoughts about emerging research into women's history in Australia as feminists globally confront attacks on and the regression of women's rights
Similar to feminist historians around the globe, over the past few years I have watched on with alternating joy and horror as women’s rights have been variously won and lost, and as campaigners across the globe take to the streets demanding that women’s voices be heard. Transnational solidarity on issues like reproductive rights, evoked by the wearing of the green bandana for example, simultaneously serves to inflate and deflate. It epitomises co…

Rallying women: Activism, Archives and Affect
In January 2017 over 400,000 women marched in Washington DC—while others marched in cities across the world—to protest the election of a misogynistic president and to draw attention to gendered and racialised inequality. Since then, operating as Women’s March the US organisation has staged subsequent marches which both extend the group’s activism and commemorate the original event. Activists have referenced the historical precedents that they bel…
Mobilising affect and trauma: The Politics of Gendered Memory and Gendered Silence
In recent years there has been a flurry of activity and controversy around the subject of public memory. Forms of cultural heritage, especially statues, have been variously lobbied for, defaced, re-storied or removed. Collectively these protest events and movements draw our attention to the potency and affective potential of public memory. This is true whatever the nature of the ‘institution’ doing the remembering, for example, a public statue or…
Vote100/Vótáil100. Die Erinnerung an das Frauenwahlrecht in Großbritannien und Irland
This article investigates some of the major themes that emerged from acts of remembering suffragists across Britain and Ireland, focusing especially on the English “Vote100” and Irish “Vótáil100” commemorations. It pays particular attention to the memory of the small number of patriotic militant suffragists who at times struggled to reconcile competing nationalist and feminist goals. This was especially apparent when nationalist feeling was high,…
The Place of Human Dignity in an Emotional World: Shame and Honour, Humility and Humiliation
Anger, Resentment and the Limits of Historical Narratives in Protest Politics: The Case of Early Twentieth-Century Irish Women’s Intersectional Movements
This essay analyses the emotions of intersectional protest. It uses the case study of early twentieth-century Irish women who subscribed to a multitude of ideological beliefs – including feminism, nationalism, socialism and pacifism – to attempt to understand the different place of emotions like hope and pride and anger and resentment in sustaining political activism. In doing so, it examines the nexus between emotions, ideology and history. Adop…

Remembering the Grandmothers: The International Movement to Commemorate the Survivors of Militarized Sexual Abuse in the Asia-Pacific War
It is over seventy years since the issue of systematized sexual abuse in the Asia-Pacific War came to light in interrogations leading up to the post-Second World War Military Tribunals. There was also widespread vernacular knowledge of the system in the early postwar period in Japan and its former occupied territories. The movement for redress for the survivors of this system gained momentum in East and Southeast Asia in the 1970s. By the 1990s t…
Remembering Women’s Activism
Remembering Women’s Activism examines the intersections between gender politics and acts of remembrance by tracing the cultural memories of women who are known for their actions. Memories are constantly being reinterpreted and are profoundly shaped by gender. This book explores the gendered dimensions of history and memory through nation-based and transnational case studies from the Asia-Pacific region and Anglophone world. Chapters consider how …
Divided sisterhood? Nationalist feminism and feminist militancy in England and Ireland
The generally accepted story is that British militant suffragists performed an unexpected and abrupt move away from the feminist movement and towards a fiercely jingoistic nationalist campaign once the war began in 1914. Yet, given the nature of exchanges between Irish and British militant feminists, Irish feminists should not have been surprised by this turn from gender solidarity to English nationalism. In this article, I argue that Irish-Briti…
Shame and the Anti‐Suffragist in Britain and Ireland: Drawing Women back into the Fold
Shame has been heavily relied on as a political tool in the modern world and yet it is still a much under‐historicised emotion. Using the examples of early twentieth‐century Britain and Ireland, I examine how women opposed to the campaign for female suffrage used shame instrumentally in their writing. Exploring the versatility of this political device, I find that shame was used with the oppositional intentions of binding and excluding. Whereas B…

Marie Corelli's British new woman: A threat to empire
At the height of the British Empire, England was in the midst of major social, economic and moral upheaval. The roles and status of middle-class women were particularly affected by many of these changes. In turn, as the gap between idealism and ‘reality’ grew, the validity or usefulness of Victorian notions or ideals of womanhood increasingly came under attack. Arising from this commotion was the figure of the late Victorian and Edwardian ‘New Wo…

The national and the transnational in British anti-suffragists’ views of Australian women voters
The issue of woman suffrage, and the unevenness of its development worldwide, provoked much heated discussion in the early twentieth century. In Britain women were campaigning — often violently — for the vote, while in the Antipodes women already had at least the national vote. This paper looks at national and transnational aspects of this debate as it was played out in the pages of the British Anti-Suffrage Review. It looks at how conservatives …

Popular Fiction and the ‘Emotional Turn’: The Case of Women in Late Victorian Britain
Many within the history profession today consider that we are experiencing an ‘emotional turn’, a perception that has been spurred by a recent proliferation of research centres and outpouring of publications exploring the concept of emotion. Interest in this field looks likely to grow, although there are methodological challenges that have yet to be overcome, as, of course, there are with any newly emerging field of study. One main concern is sou…
