A Terrible Beauty? Women, Media, and the Irish Struggle for Independence
Dr. Karen Steele, Associate Professor and Director of Women’s Studies TCU
April 17, 2009 @ 7 p.m. Library Conference Room
“Women, Press, and Politics” explores the literary and historical significance of women’s writing for the most influential body of nationalist journalism during the Irish Revival, the advanced nationalist press. This work studies women’s writings in the Irish nationalist tradition, focusing in particular on leading female voices in the cultural and political movements that helped launch the Easter Rising of 1916: Augusta Gregory, Alice Milligan, Maud Gonne, Constance Markievicz, Delia Larkin, Hanna Sheehy Skeffington, and Louise Bennett. Karen Steele argues that by examining the innovative work of these writers from the perspective of women’s artistry and women’s political investments, we can best appreciate the expansive range of their cultural productions and the influence these had on other nationalists, who went on to shape Irish politics and culture in the decades to come.

LIBRARY CONFERENCE ROOM B29
CannonDesign Architectural firm is working with the Mary Couts Burnett Library to design a renovated and expanded library building. We would like to hear from you about what undergraduate students want from the TCU Library. Assume we had lots more space and whatever would be needed to be the PERFECT place for undergraduate students. How would these facilities be designed? What is in place now that needs to be expanded? What isn’t available now that we need? Here is your chance to make a difference for undergraduate students now and in the future at TCU!
Can’t meet then?? Please send an email to James Lutz (j.lutz@tcu.edu), Director of Library Administrative Services, with your recommendations.
