Living in an Armed Patriarchy by Lynda Walker
Essential reading on the women’s liberation struggle in Northern Ireland from the late 1960s on
THIS booklet by Lynda Walker goes back to the years from the late 1960s to the early 1980s, years that shook the north of Ireland profoundly in many ways.
In exploring the experience of the dispossessed from their own point of view, hers is the kind of writing about past events that departs from mainstream bourgeois history and she records aspects of their suffering and resistance with a compassion reflecting her personal involvement.
