An important contribution to the history of Irish women emigrants.' Bernadette Hyland, Morning Star 'The only dedicated - and most exhaustive - account of Irish women emigrating to the UK.' Colin Gannon, The Irish World 'The book shows Irish female emigrants to Britain as more empowered than previously depicted; it is well argued with hard facts and statistical evidence. It is important that this book is read outside academia and the feminisation of Irish history cannot alone be the work of feminist historians.' Sinead McCoole, The Irish Times 'A wealth of new material about an under-researched period of Irish women's history.' Professor Bronwen Walter, Anglia Ruskin University s
