UCD Press is ‘leading the way in publishing women’s voices’ ‘Lane’s latest monograph offers a chance to reflect on the fields of women’s history and political biography, shown in this case to be overlapping, raising new questions about the lack of scholarly research on MacSwiney in the past’ ‘This biography provokes some serious reflection on where we are now in scholarly studies of women’s experiences of Ireland’s past’ 💐 A big thank you to Jennifer Redmond and Irish Historical Studies for the illuminating review of Mary MacSwiney by Dr Leeann Lane. We’re also grateful to Dr Remond for recognising a variety of women’s biographies in our catalogue. As Dr Redmond notes, the publication of women’s biographies ‘suggests a healthy interest in women’s lives, especially those that made headlines during their lifetimes, not always the case in considering the patriarchal norms that shaped women’s lives in the past and often confined women to the invisibility of the private sphere.’ She makes the case to ‘allow women the definition of their own choices in biographies we construct about them, as Lane has so ably done here.’ 📰 Read the full review via the link in our bio 📚 Explore a special selection of books on ‘Women in History’ 20% off through the end of May at www.ucdpress.ie

Unyielding Bodies INES-Matriarchiva - Dissident geographies Seminar, June 18 and 19, 2024. Cali Colombia @favabellasartes & @funhi_org With the support of Banco de La República, Cali Colombia Feminism(s) and Gender Perspectives Feminismos y perspectivas de Género. El evento será en español Formulario de Inscripcion: https://forms.gle/v7aroQqDHQYdLYWv9 About The Seminar What do feminist, queer, cuir historiographies, curatorships, and artistic practices imply regarding race, gender, and social class? Beyond the quota of the presence of women or bodies of color and non-heteronormated bodies in the production of exhibitions and the construction of historical stories resisting or revealing oneself to the patterns of invisibility requires strategies and tools that allow a fracture in the production, organization, and dissemination of artistic and academic practices that distance themselves from heteronormative and patriarchal thinking. The art world has arguably benefited from increased attention and adoption of decolonial and feminist theories in academic, artistic, and curatorial practice in recent years. Although it is relevant that we have had curatorships and historiographies available that make information, knowledge, and previously hidden or silenced bodies visible, one of the formidable current challenges is “finding more effective ways of stating things”. That is to say, a turn towards the dual imperatives of feminist interventions in art history is currently required: on the one hand, making artists visible and, at once, profoundly engaging with how these works and their visibility intervene in our understanding of the entire history of art and artistic production. The ¨INES¨ Seminar “Dissident Geographies” will occur in Cali, Colombia, on June 17 and 18 this year. #womanandgenderstudies #feminism #inesmatriarchive #yohannamroa
