Overall this is an excellent study of the events that led up to the creation of the Wild Geese, and in particular the brutal war in Ireland, a conflict that still has an impact in the present day.

A collection of experts have come together to look at Irish history through the lenses of gender and sexuality in this informative work that spans a period from the middle ages to the 1980's. With topics including marriage and inheritance in medieval Ireland, women and patriotism in the eighteenth century, the history of prostitution in Ireland, reformatories and mother and baby homes., conservative Catholicism and the Dance Halls Act, the fight for reproductive rights and the availability of contraceptives in the 70's and the 1983 Abortion Referendum it covers a very diverse set of issues in an easy to read and understand manner. I found it to be informative and educational and it was fascinating to see the social changes that have come about in more modern times.

I would strongly recommend this title if you are willing to do some serious Irish research on your ancestors, it will certainly get you that one step ahead of the rest.
