Come join me for a free but ticketed public talk by Dr. Deirdre Foley, a historian of modern Ireland. It will explore the female experience of work at Jacob's, covering issues of social class, gendered discipline, and discrimination in preference of the male breadwinner. The experience of republican women in the factory in 1916 and beyond is also explored.
Jacob's was one of Ireland's top three manufacturing firms for some time after independence, women and girls consistently made up two thirds of its staff.

This talk will be recorded and made available at a later date.
