Superb from @drdawnmiranda.bsky.social Irish partition was shaped largely by a few male decision-makers. Women at the time were largely ignored, & they remain too little consulted or considered on the question, north or south. Notable exceptions inc. @katyhayward.bsky.social

Saw Blue Road tonight at Queen’s Film Theatre with illuminating q&a with director Sinead O’Shea. Wonderful, really engaging with loads of info not generally known & wide-ranging interview with Edna not long before her death. It’s also a revealing social history of Ireland. Do go see it if you can.
The Blue Road is superb. Seeing the stagnant, outraged Irish history Enda wrote into/against reminds us how fearless she was. TBR captures her work ethic, celebrity, the criticism. As Anne Enright says: “Sometimes misogyny is just jealousy with a dick”.
Great work, @sineadoshea.bsky.social
