Irish Women's Writing: Unearthing Hidden Treasures

This guide highlights resources in the Boston College Libraries that are of value to anyone conducting research on Irish women writers, especially those women who wrote during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The guide also points to sources outside of Boston College.

Boston College Libraries own many titles by and about Irish women writers from the time period mentioned above.  To retrieve the titles, click here or do a 'Basic' search in Quest using 'Local Collection Name' in the 'Search Type' field and 'Irish Women Writers, Nineteenth, Early Twentieth Century' in the 'Search For' field. Records retrieved currently reflect holdings for O'Neill, Kenny-Cottle, NRC and NEDL collections.


Boston College Libraries hold many older Irish newspapers and journals on microfilm that may be significant to the study of women writers of this time period. Consult Irish Serials in B.C. Libraries for series and title information.
