Abstract
The symbolic role of women in Irish nationalism has to some extent obscured their practical involvements.
By studying some of the most prominent female nationalists, this paper shows how women
often read representations of women as icons of nationhood very much against the grain of the passive
interpretations favoured by later historians. The paper also shows how heavily contested was the
ultimate exclusion of women from public and political spaces.
