- Description
- Rebecca Pelan analyzes religion, region, class, and national and ethnic identity as crucial contexts in shaping feminist consciousness in the two Irelands, and compares the divergence of feminist perspectives to be found North and South of the border. The very different histories of the North and South are reflected in their literature. Pelan concentrates primarily on radical fiction produced between 1970 and the middle 1990s, finding that a period in which Irish women's writing proliferated and seems in hindsight to have had an usually cohesive political agenda. After taking in turn writing from the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland, she surveys the new minefield she finds in the following decade.

- Description
- This book examines the effects of international migration on the shaping of national and gender identities of Spanish women who migrated to the UK between the 1940s and the 1990s from different socio-economic, educational backgrounds and generations. It explores the dynamics between the power of social institutions and women's agency in shaping their identities in two different countries: Spain and the UK. In looking at individuals' formation of identities, the complexity of the social sites of different social classes, educational attainments and generations, is illuminated. .This study looks at how gender and nation are appropriated in women's accounts and how representations of gender and nation relate to other significant social phenomena.
