In this latest episode of A Woman's Place we talk about WHY Irish women chose to 'go into the covent' and become nuns. What were the power dynamics of these structures, what were the conditions of their lives which influenced their decision.
We also touch on the notion of 'purity' and why Irish people's identity, especially womanhood, became intrinsically linked with cleanliness and containment.
Our isolationist past politically, is also related to the isolation of the female within the home and the isolation of ourselves as humans from emotion.
This is a great conversation for ideas with a sprinkle of history!
