Women, Unionism and Loyalism in Northern Ireland: From Tea-Makers to Political Actors

The book explores the often-overlooked political engagement of unionist and loyalist women in Northern Ireland, challenging the stereotype that they are merely supportive figures. Through research, it reveals their significant involvement in politics, highlighting diverse roles that remain largely unrecognized in a male-dominated landscape. By examining their national and cross-cutting identities, the text aims to illuminate the complexities of their contributions and the broader implications for understanding gender dynamics within unionist and loyalist movements.
