Overview

The political writings of Eva Gore-Booth brings together a fascinating array of material from this important Irish author and political activist. The volume includes a selection of letters, political pamphlets, newspaper articles and poetry relating to key aspects of Irish and British events of the early twentieth century; events which are now entering centenary commemorations. The volume is presented in three sections focusing on women's suffrage and women's trade unionism, pacifism and conscientious objection during the First World War, and Irish nationalism before independence. Many of these writings are out of print and difficult to source, and this volume offers a valuable research and teaching resource. -- .

'Sonja Tiernan, author of the first biography of Eva Gore-Booth, has now produced an excellent edition of her political writings. After meticulous historical research, she has assembled a series of fascinating pieces that demonstrate how Gore-Booth was able to combine her radical concern for equal pay for working women with the demand for suffrage, the quest for peace, and support for Irish Independence. Gore-Booth's complexity, political nuance and clarity of mind are on display in this indispensable compilation.' Professor Elizabeth Cullingford, The University of Texas at Austin -- .
