These women, who have been socially excluded and economically disadvantaged, describe their lives during war and a now precarious peace. Challenging traditional methods of conducting research in the social sciences, McIntyre enlists Participatory action research to understand how these women see themselves, their world and their place in it. Participatory action research includes creative and interactive projects--collages, painting, poetry, and photography--to enable free expression. We see in this volume how the Belfast women negotiate and struggle with the intersections of violence, politics, gender, parenting, community work, religion, fear, humor, friendship, and their deeply held views of what it means to be an Irish woman.Public opinionNorthern IrelandBelfastWomenNorthern IrelandBelfastAttitudesWorking class womenNorthern IrelandBelfastAttitudesPublic opinionWomenAttitudes.Working class womenAttitudes.305.4/09416/7McIntyre Alice1956-1645214DLCDLCDLCBOOK9910961158403321Women in Belfast4339304UNINA
