Irish women writers

CaoimH_in

Hi all,

I'm wondering does anyone know of any books concerned with the complete canon of Irish female writers? Something along the lines of Inventing Ireland by Declan Kiberd or A Jury of Her Peers by Elaine Showalter except entirely devoted to Irish women writers is what I mean.

Any help would be greatly appreciated,
Kevin

This is more of an anthology but it has introductive chapters to each period etc. I'm pretty sure there's no Inventing Ireland for women

Thanks for the reply, Swiper.

I've found what I was after in Heather Ingman's books. If anyone is interested they're here:

If anyone knows any other academics that have published on this topic for the lay reader I would appreciate it immeasurably.

Prof. Patricia Coughlan of UCC has a few articles on the subject that may be worth trying to track down.
