Magdalen history has long been marginalised in public discourse. Even as women's activism and contributions are included in new histories of the revolutionary era, the lives of women regarded as marginal are still excluded. This collection examines the ways in which Magdalen history can contribute to a much more nuanced and inclusive understanding of how we narrativize post-independence Irish history.
