Literary Coteries and the Irish Women Writers'' Club (1933-1958)

English

By (author): Deirdre F. Brady

As publishers in private printing presses, as writers of dissident texts and as political campaigners against censorship and for intellectual freedom, a radical group of twentieth-century Irish women formed a female-only coterie to foster womens writing and maintain a public space for professional writers. This book documents the activities of the Women Writers Club (19331958), exploring its ethos, social and political struggles, and the body of works created and celebrated by its members. Examining the period through a history of the book approach, it covers social events, reading committees, literary prizes, publishing histories, modernist printing presses, book fairs, reading practices, and the various political philosophies shared by members of the Club. It reveals how professional women writers deployed their networks and influence to carve out a space for their writing in the cultural marketplace, collaborating with other artistic groups to fight for creative freedoms and the right to earn a living by the pen. The book paints a vivid portrait of the Women Writers Club, showcasing their achievements and challenging existing orthodoxy on the role of women in Irish literary life. See more
