Marriage bars and motherhood: An oral history case study of modern Ireland
In Ireland, the rationale for, and long duration of, the marriage bar in employment stemmed from the widely held belief that women, once married, belonged in the home. The marriage bar, legislated for in the public sector but simultaneously practised in the private sector, affected thousands of women in Ireland. Drawing on twenty-one oral history interviews and supplemental narratives by email, this article demonstrates the deeply flawed assumpti…

Beyond Ellis Island: Unpacking the Negativity Around Contemporary Migration
The year 2024 is the 100 th anniversary of the end of Ellis Island as the welcoming gateway to and for millions of international migrants to the United States. It is also a presidential election year in the same country, where migrants and migration are lambasted, even as the economy cannot have enough of them. This behaviour pattern is not unique. By focusing mainly on the United States, this paper proposes a set of inter-related explanations as…
Exploring the ordinary: Migration, sexuality and crime, and the progression of the ‘Agenda’ in Irish women's history, 1850s–1950s
This article reflects on some developments in women's history based on the 1992 ‘An agenda for women's history in Ireland, 1500–1900’, particularly responding to the section authored by Maria Luddy, incorporating work grounded in the nineteenth century up to the first half of the twentieth. Specifically, it considers developments in Irish women's social history over the past thirty years on the period from the 1850s to 1950s. The focus is on them…
Masculinities in revolutionary and post-revolutionary Ireland
The study of masculinities in Irish history is a relatively new but thriving field of inquiry. This collection, based on two symposia in 2016 and 2017 funded by the Irish Research Council, brings together scholars who examine masculinities in revolutionary (1912–23) and post-independence Ireland. Taking themes that encompass the First World War, the Rising, the War of Independence, the Civil War and the Free State, the authors highlight different…
Brave enough to fight? Masculinity, migration and the Irish revolution
This article focuses on the nationalist side in revolutionary Ireland (1912–23), examining concepts of bravery, heroic masculinity, fighting for principles and country, all of which have important impacts on understandings of masculinities during the time period (and indeed before and beyond it). Contemporary nationalist rhetoric emphasised the need to rally all men for an armed struggle: such language paid no heed to the economic realities of ma…
I am amazed at how easily we accepted it’: The marriage ban, teaching and ideologies of womanhood in post-Independence Ireland
This article examines the perspectives of 14 primary school teachers subjected to a marriage ban in Ireland between 1932 and 1958. This oral history study provides a unique platform to examine the construction and articulation of these women’s historical memories. Interrogating their perspectives on the marriage ban provides an important window into the social and cultural world in which they lived, the norms and dominant values they encountered,…
War Within and Without: Irish women in the First World War era
The period 1914–1918 was tumultuous in Ireland when conflict wrought by international tensions was exacerbated by a fractious domestic political scene that ultimately resulted in partition of the island into two jurisdictions: Northern Ireland, comprised of six of the nine Ulster counties, and the Free State, encompassing the remaining twenty-six counties. Both were dominions within the British Commonwealth with domestic parliaments controlling i…

One man one job”: The marriage ban and the employment of women teachers in Irish primary schools
In 1932, the Irish government, facing an economic downturn, introduced a marriage ban which required that female primary school teachers were required to resign on marriage. This followed a series of restrictive legislative measures adopted by Irish governments throughout the 1920s which sought to limit women's participation in public life and the public sector. Such a requirement emerged in several countries in response to high unemployment and …

Sinful Singleness'? Exploring the Discourses on Irish Single Women's Emigration to England, 1922-1948
In the interwar and immediate post‐war years, the persistently high rates of emigration by young, single Irish women gave rise to worries over their moral and spiritual welfare. This was partly because of their assumed extreme vulnerability as women coming from rural locations to the metropolises of England. It seems that the combination of their singleness and their gender was the prime reason for the concern evinced predominantly by the Roman C…
