The Transportation of Irish Women in 19th Century Ireland: A Case History Nolan, Blathnaid This article focuses on the tale of two sisters, Margaret and Judith Byrne, who were arrested in Dundalk for the larceny of a pair of shoes, transferred to Grange Gorman Lane, transportation depot, and disposed of on the Phoebe in 1845 to Van Diemen’s Land. This article examines the case as it was presented to the courts including the petitions put forward on behalf of the sisters.

Gibbons, Mary This article examines the role of Irish farmwomen during the National Farmers’ Association, Farmers’ Rights Campaign, which took place in 1966-67. It shows the “invisible” role that these women played during this campaign. These women illustrate the notion of “love labour”, which seeks to disguise the true value of their contribution by presenting it as an act of love rather than attributing to it the true value of work. It shows how these farmwomen diminish their own role during the campaign as secondary to that of their husbands. This article addresses the importance of having a gender perspective to analyse historical phenomena; the emergence of social movements; and highlights the role of religion in the lives of Irish farming people at that time.
