Description:... Ã?Â?Ã?«In this pioneering study, Urquhart provides a highly detailed, thoughtful disquisition on the gendering of womenÃ?Â?Ã?Â-s political activity and the historical patterns that developed along sectarian lines very early on in twentieth century Ulster politics.Ã?Â?Ã?Â-Signs Ã?Â?Ã?«Working on an under-researched area, [Urquhart] has skilfully uncovered fascinating information about the early women pioneers of public service. She makes great use of an array of sources including minute books, newspapers and autobiographical material to piece together the fragments of these womenÃ?Â?Ã?Â-s histories.Ã?Â?Ã?Â- Irish Studies Review
