Am I a Feminist?

Mary Kenny

In Ireland in 1970, a woman couldn’t buy contraceptives, sit on a jury, keep her job in the public service or a bank when she got married, or collect her children’s allowance. Mary Kenny was a founder-member of the Irish Women’s Liberation Movement and has seen many shifts, changes and developments in women’s rights and the definition of feminism. Wise, witty, thought-provoking and provocative, Am I A Feminist? Are You? sums up a lifetime of experience. Part testament, part memoir, part historical explanation - this is a personal appraisal of what feminism has meant, accomplished and prompted over the past five decades. There is light and shade: serious debates about serious subjects, from FGM and abortion to women soldiers and transgenderism - but also entertaining vignettes and anecdotes on the role of the bicycle, hair dye, and the sex revolution.
