> This Conference will explore Irish women's personal writings (such as
> diaries, letters, memoirs and autobiographies, both published and
> unpublished) as a rich source for understanding the mental, social and
> political worlds of Irish and Irish-based women from the medieval to the
> modern period. This kind of writing ranges from unpublished spiritual
> diaries of religious women to the published and widely read memoirs of
> notorious women, such as Mrs Leeson, a Dublin brothel-keeper of the
> eighteenth century. In other words, it spans the purely private and
> contemplative to the openly public and self-justificatory, with many
points
> in between.
>
> Proposals for papers on any aspect of the Conference theme are welcome.
> Proposals (200 word max), together with a brief CV, should be sent to Dr
> Clare O'Halloran, Dept of History, NUI Cork, Cork by 31 July 2005. It is
> intended to publish a select number of the papers from the Conference.
