Abstract

This book offers fascinating new insights into women's leisure in 1920s-30s Ireland and Northern Ireland. Using a feminist, intersectional lens, it challenges stereotypes of these women's lives as insular and passive, instead presenting more complex images of agentic, pleasure-seeking subjects who were influenced by the international 'modern girl'
