In this episode, I speak to Theresa O’Keefe about womens involvement in the Provisional IRA.
Her book ‘Feminist Identity Development and Activism in Revolutionary Movements’ has been described as the first in-depth exploration of women in the contemporary Irish republican movement and the relationship between revolutionary republican women and the ‘mainstream’ women’s movement.
A groundbreaking work, it is based on a series of interviews conducted with women volunteers in the Provisional IRA and challenges conventional orthodoxies about the development of feminist consciousness within national liberation movements.
Theresa is a lecturer and researcher at University College Cork, where she teaches feminism, sexuality, gender, research methods, conflict, crime, and deviance.
