The Salley Gardens presents reflections from seventy-three heterosexual young women on growing up, forming sexual relationships and some becoming mothers in the last years of the 'Celtic Tiger'. The authors explore their hope and despair about what it means to be a woman, to use their agency, within the inescapable tensions of newly wealthy Ireland. Their efforts to build their sexual lives are complex and the significant problems they encountered remain unresolved. Women's search for agency is woven into our complex history and continues to reverberate. The bewildering juxtapositions young women faced fifteen years ago have intensified in the present. Then and now, we face conflicts with social expectations of our lives as sexual women, caring women, partners, wives, and mothers. Turning our older history in Ireland towards an exuberant resistance enables us to illuminate the limitations of the female identities imposed by contemporary Ireland. The Salley Gardens helps us rethink what we mean by agency and resistance, revaluing women's actions as we endeavour to value our own lives"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Women $z Ireland $x Social conditions $y 21st century. 650 0 $a Women $z Ireland $x Identity. 650 0 $a Women $x Sexual behavior $z Ireland. 650 0 $a Motherhood $z Ireland. 650 6 $a Femmes $z Irlande $x Conditions sociales $y 21e siecle. 650 6 $a Femmes $z Irlande $x Identite. 650 6 $a Femmes $x Sexualite $z Irlande. 650 6 $a Maternite $z Irlande. 650 7 $a Motherhood. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01026907 650 7 $a Women $x Identity. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01176807 650 7 $a Women $x Sexual behavior. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01176942 650 7 $a Women $x Social conditions. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01176947 651 7 $a Ireland. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01205427 648 7 $a 2000-2099 $2 fast 700 1 $a Oaks, Laury, $d 1967- $e author. 776 08 $i Online version: $a Murphy-Lawless, Jo. $t Salley Gardens $d Oxford ; New York : Peter Lang, 2022 $z 9781800794184 $w (DLC) 2021034404 830 0 $a Reimagining Ireland ; $v v. 106. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20230517011442.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=D99B7DCEEE0211ECABFB385646ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
