📚 This is the final book in a trilogy exploring Irish women’s lives across decades of transformation both in Ireland and overseas. The book focuses on women who stayed in Ireland during years of immense social, political, economic and cultural change. It joins Models for Movers and Irish Transatlantics under the Attic Press imprint.

In her welcoming remarks Audrey Whitty highlighted the significant role of libraries in making archives of social research available to the public and thanked Íde for choosing to house her research materials for this book at NLI.

The book was launched Gráinne Healy, feminist activist, researcher, author, and former chairwoman of the National Women’s Council of Ireland.

We are deeply saddened to learn about the death of Emeritus Professor of History, Tom Dunne formerly of the School of History, UCC. A few weeks ago, Tom delivered an address on the history of the Press at our Through the Years exhibition launch in UCC Library. We were grateful to such a brilliant scholar, a firm supporter and former leader of the Press, for telling our story.
 
Last year we were honoured to publish his story, The Good Boy – his 2024 memoir. May he rest in peace.

We are deeply saddened to hear about the death of Elizabeth (Libby) Wincott Heckett. She was a leading scholar on the archaeological textiles of Ireland and gained worldwide recognition for her pioneering work on the tenth-century Viking Dublin headcoverings which became known as the ‘Dublin Cap’.  She will be dearly missed by UCC colleagues, archaeologists, historians and the wider academic and heritage community.

Her work will allow new generations with an interest in Ireland's archaeological history to build on this important research. We at Cork University Press are proud to have published her life's work edited by Mary Ann Williams in November 2024.
