Irish Women's Speeches by Sonja Tiernan
Thirty-two inspiring speeches by women of Ireland from the nineteenth century to the present.
'The record of Irish women’s speeches provides an inspiring account of Irish women whose words continue to shake people out of apathy and enthuse new generationsIt is a record of women who, as Mary Robinson noted in her presidential acceptance speech, “instead of rocking the cradle, rocked the system.”' - Sonja Tiernan, The Irish Times, November 2021.; 'The balanced, alternative view of history found in Eamon Cleary Chair of Irish Studies Professor Sonja Tiernan’s new book Irish Women’s Speeches: Voices that rocked the system has resonated with readers in Ireland, with the book already reprinted four times.' - University of Otago, December 2021.; 'My single hope for the year ahead is that when we talk of women’s contributions, past and present, the adjectives ‘unseen’, ‘unheard’, or ‘unsung’ will no longer be needed to describe them.' - Clodagh Finn, Irish Examiner, December 2021.
Sonja Tiernan is the Eamon Cleary Professor of Irish Studies and Co- Director of the Centre for Irish and Scottish Studies at University of Otago.
