Abstract
A critical impetus in women’s history since the 1970s has been reconceptualising the subject matter and structure of academic narratives about the past and its literature. Katharine Tynan’s writing easily lends itself to this agenda and scholarly interest in it has grown alongside the women’s studies movement. As a widely popular Irish female writer, whose career spanned from 1885 until her death in 1931, Katharine Tynan influenced English as well as Irish public opinion throughout the politically charged years which culminated in the Irish Free State and the enfranchisement of women over 21.
