Reviews for Ireland's New Traditionalists: Fianna Fail republicanism and gender, 1926-1938
This book puts forward an original, well-researched, thoughtful and clearly developed argument, which promises to bring welcome depth and nuance to our understanding of Irish culture and politics in the interwar period.
