A review of 'Irish Women at Work 1930–1960. By Elizabeth Kiely and Máire Leane' (Pre-published version)

Abstract

This exploration of Munster women’s experience in the workplace is based on the stories of forty-two women, representing a broad spectrum of generational, social and employment backgrounds. It is one of two linked outcomes of a major H.E.A.-funded project completed in 2002–03 at U.C.C.’s School of Applied Social Studies, the major outcome being the online audio and pictorial archive of the women’s interviews, available at http://www.ucc.ie/acad/appsoc/OralHistoryProject/.
