Embodying the nation: Post-colonial Irish women's fiction

"Irish literary criticism has long been interested in the politics of literature and its role in decolonizing Irish culture, but it has assumed such a strict separation between public and private that ""women's issues"" have not been considered political topics in Irish literary history and therefore women's writing has been profoundly neglected. The inclusion of women writers demands that we rewrite Irish literary history under a broader definition of ""politics,"" attending to how women writers blur the oppositions--Protestant/Catholic, public/private, colonizer/colonized--that have underwritten their neglect to date."
