Book Launch - Flappers and the Jazz Age
What it is
Join us to celebrate our new book, Flappers and the Jazz Age: Women and leisure in Ireland, 1920s-30s.
This book develops new insights and understandings about ordinary women’s lives and leisure in Ireland and Northern Ireland in the Jazz Age, which have been neglected in the academic literature to date.
Attentive to social differences in women’s lives based on class, religious identities, and rural/urban locations, our intersectional analysis brings together multidisciplinary perspectives including cultural studies, architecture, geography, fashion, and musicology to redress this gap in knowledge.
Moreover, the book brings together researchers from both sides of the Irish border into a common dialogue about women’s lives in the 1920s and 1930s.
