Le lundi de Pâques 1916, une petite troupe d'insurgés part à l'assaut de la Grand-Poste de Dublin et proclame l'Irlande souveraine et indépendante. Les Britanniques mobilisent six mille soldats pour réprimer la rébellion. à la fin de la semaine, l'insurrection aura fait plus de 500 morts et 2 500 blessés. Le centenaire de l'insurrection de Pâques 1916 est l'occasion de retracer l'histoire de l'Irlande indépendante. 1912. Le Home Rule, projet de loi proposant une certaine autonomie au sein du Royaume-Uni, porte tous les espoirs du peuple irlandais. Alors que l'Ulster y est hostile et que l'Europe entre dans la Première Guerre mondiale, une véritable lutte s'engage pour se libérer du joug britannique. Il faudra attendre la fin de la guerre d'Indépendance en 1921 pour qu'un traité reconnaissant l'Irlande comme état libre soit signé. Mais les tensions ne sont pas apaisées : une guerre civile entre partisans et opposants éclate l'année suivante, et le conflit nord-irlandais débute à la fin des années 1960. Entre espoirs et désillusions, défaites et victoires, Alexandra Slaby raconte la destinée singulière de l'Irlande depuis sa genèse révolutionnaire jusqu'à la terrible crise financière de 2008 et la relance économique. Des scandales qui ont ébranlé l'église catholique à l'adoption du mariage gay en 2015, elle fait la part belle à l'histoire politique et sociale du pays. « D'ici 2016, nous serons le meilleur petit pays au monde où entre-prendre, le meilleur pays où fonder une famille, et le meilleur pays où vieillir dans la dignité et le respect… Ce sera la république de 2016. » Enda Kenny, Premier ministre de l'Irlande, 2012

This is a major new history of the experiences and activities of Irish nationalist women in the early twentieth century, from learning and buying Irish to participating in armed revolt. Using memoirs, reminiscences, letters and diaries, Senia Pašeta explores the question of what it meant to be a female nationalist in this volatile period, revealing how Irish women formed nationalist, cultural and feminist groups of their own as well as how they influenced broader political developments. She shows that women's involvement with Irish nationalism was intimately bound up with the suffrage movement as feminism offered an important framework for women's political activity. She covers the full range of women's nationalist activism from constitutional nationalism to republicanism, beginning in 1900 with the foundation of Inghinidhe na hÉireann (Daughters of Ireland) and ending in 1918 with the enfranchisement of women, the collapse of the Irish Party and the ascendancy of Sinn Fein.
