dc.description.abstractUntil the late 20th century, histories of Irish education made little specific reference to the education of women. They tended to be written from the perspective of the policy-makers of their eras, and the primary sources used were more often official documents than personal or local records. However some schools and colleges, including girls’ schools, ensured that the history of their institutions was committed to print, and such histories provide an invaluable insight into the education of women at various periods of the 18th, 19th and 20th centuries in Ireland. One of the more significant such histories is Gladly Learn and Gladly Teach: a History of Alexandra School and College, co-authored in 1983 by Anne O'Connor and Susan Parkes. Parkes’ more recently published history of women in Trinity College – A Danger to the Men? (2004) has also made an invaluable contribution to our understanding of the issues surrounding the inclusion of women in education in Ireland in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. This new book, Minerva to Madonna, co-authored by Deirdre Raftery and Susan Parkes, provides a very welcome addition to the growing list of publications which address issues relating to women’s education in Ireland.en
