A “Manly Study”?Non-Academic Women Historians, 1922–1949

A “Manly Study”?: Non-Academic Women Historians, 1922–1949 [A substantial number of women who wrote about Irish history did not pursue academic careers in the Free State period. Although most had obtained a university education, they took different career paths as writers, journalists, teachers, archivists, and museum professionals. As writers of innovative works on women’s, religious, early modern, and contemporary Irish history, they were significant in demonstrating the diversity of historical scholarship in Ireland, produced in both academic and non-academic contexts, at a time when the Irish historical profession was undergoing modernization and consolidation in the universities.

Abstract

[A substantial number of women who wrote about Irish history did not pursue academic careers in the Free State period. Although most had obtained a university education, they took different career paths as writers, journalists, teachers, archivists, and museum professionals. As writers of innovative works on women’s, religious, early modern, and contemporary Irish history, they were significant in demonstrating the diversity of historical scholarship in Ireland, produced in both academic and non-academic contexts, at a time when the Irish historical profession was undergoing modernization and consolidation in the universities. The careers of these women show parallels with those of women historians outside of Ireland in the interwar period in terms of their influences, research interests, and social and political engagement.]
