Abstract

Drawing from 53 research interviews conducted for the ‘Women of the Borderlands’ project, this map traces the experiences and purposes of women’s everyday journeys through the UK/Irish borderlands. The map visually represents the numerous and daily encounters between women and the border as they sought to navigate the often adverse, challenging and militarised conditions of rural borderlands.
