  Since the 1960 publication of her first novel, The Country Girls , award-winning Irish writer Edna O'Brien has been both celebrated and maligned. This book situates her in Irish contexts that allow for an appraisal of her contribution to Irish women's literary tradition while attesting to the potency of writing against patriarchal conventions.
