'Senia Pašeta's extremely well-researched study of early twentieth-century Irish nationalist women … wonderfully recreates the world of politically active Irish nationalist women during the turbulent years at the start of the last century, and it does so with some real sympathy for the people under scrutiny … she offers us a deeply researched and powerful account of a very significant subject. Our understanding of women's role in Irish nationalism - and therefore of Irish nationalism itself - is greatly enriched by this excellent study.' Richard English, Dublin Review of Books
