Known affectionately as "the Queen of Gaelic Storytellers," Peig Sayers here offers reminiscences of the daily events that made up her life (such as seal catching, collecting turf for roofs, preparing for a funeral wake) alongside the tragedies of drownings at sea, pilgrimages, and the news of the 1916 revolution in Dublin City. It is a unique record of an essential part of the oral Gaelic tradition.

Peig Sayers was ‘the Queen, of Gaelic story-tellers’. She was born in the parish of Dunquin in Kerry and married into a neighbouring island, the Great Blasket, where she spent most of her life. Students and scholars of the Irish language came from far and wide to visit her. She was, as Robin Flower wrote in The Western Island, ‘a natural orator, with so keen a sense of the turn of phrase and the lifting rhythm appropriate to Irish that her words could be written down as they leave her lips, and they would have the effect of literature with no savour of the artificiality of composition’. Her Reflections are a collection of her fireside stories, most of them tales of her friends and neighbours on the Great Blasket, the island that also produced Maurice O’Sullivan’s Twenty Tears A-Growing and Tόmas ό Crohan’s The Islandman.

Download Tattoo Monologues Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
Body art can tell personal stories. When linked to a difficult or traumatic life, it can even restore one’s sense of well-being. As director of a community health center for twenty-seven years and as a nurse practitioner for over forty years, Donna Torrisi became fascinated with the stories behind her patients’ tattoos. When she began to ask her female patients about their markings, themes of trauma, pain, and loss emerged, and it became clear that the art indelibly marked on their bodies had played a part in their healing and redemption. The women featured in Tattoo Monologues demonstrate vulnerability and courage as they share both their personal tattoo narratives and photos of the images on their bodies. These women represent diverse cultures, ethnicities, and professional contexts, but they are united by their use of tattoos as a tool for processing traumatic life experiences. The images, stories, emotions, and journeys in this book collectively tell a compelling story. A story of skin and ink. A story of trauma and adversity. A story of courage and resilience.

In There Was An Old Woman, Andrea Carlisle presents a collection of personal essays that explore this time of life and consider misperceptions, hard truths, needs, and often beautiful complexity. This book is a rallying cry and a rejection of received wisdom about what old age should look like and how old people--especially older women--should feel and behave. In her view, old age is a long walk, not a singular moment, or even a few years, in time. This period of life needs literature for sustenance, with voices that inspire and challenge, as much as any other. Carlisle digs into what old age feels like, how it works, and the ways old women look at themselves, based on the cultural myths handed to them, as well as how they are perceived and marginalized by others. She takes on issues of aging both common (caregiving; vanity; grief; the importance of movement) and uncommon (the expansion of consciousness and curiosity in old age; the impact of how stories about older women are told, and the way the old are excluded as central characters from almost all of literature). She discusses intergenerational bonds, the many forms of ageism, poverty, loneliness, erasure, friendship, art, and a variety of other topics.

Download Ageing Women in Literature and Visual Culture Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
This timely collection engages with representations of women and ageing in literature and visual culture. Acknowledging that cultural conceptions of ageing are constructed and challenged across a variety of media and genres, the editors bring together experts in literature and visual culture to foster a dialogue across disciplines. Exploring the process of ageing in its cultural reflections, refractions and reimaginings, the contributors to Ageing Women in Literature and Visual Culture analyse how artists, writers, directors and performers challenge, and in some cases reaffirm, cultural constructions of ageing women, as well as give voice to ageing women’s subjectivities. The book concludes with an afterword by Germaine Greer which suggests possible avenues for future research.
