Abstract
The history of women and crime is a poorly documented aspect
of the lives of Irish women in the nineteenth century.
Contemporary writing on the subject was very limited despite the
great interest in the whole area of criminology.1 Much of the
reason for this, surely lies in the fact that crimes by women
constituted only a small fraction of known crime, and this more
often than not was of a petty nature. The purpose of this paper
is to demonstrate who these women were, what crimes they
committed, what happened to them in prison and where they went
upon discharge.
