Irish Feminist Futures

The Celtic Tiger (circa 1995–2008) was a time of extraordinary and radical change, in which Ireland’s economic, demographic, and social structures underwent significant alteration. Examining a range of literary, filmic, and critical texts by Irish women, Irish Feminist Futures analyzes how futurity structures representations of the feminine self in Irish women’s cultural practice during the Tiger period. It shows that these representations create a viable feminist theory in the midst of a late capitalist culture which regards feminism as irrelevant and outdated, creating a 'new' feminism for a 'new' Ireland.
