Being Eclipsed

"BEING ECLIPSED" explores the lives of women in Ireland from the mid-19th to the 20th century, highlighting their experiences under the oversight of the Church and State. It examines the complex roles of women who resorted to prostitution for survival and those of nuns who managed them within a context of double standards and societal judgment. The book sheds light on how women were marginalized and misunderstood, often facing societal rejection rather than support.
