The pieces reveal how complex the terms \"feminism\" and \"postcolonialism\" are; they examine how the individual writers see their identities constructed and\/or mediated by sexuality. In addition, the book traces common themes of female agency, violence, generational conflicts, migration, emigration, religion, and politics to name a few. As it represents the next wave of Irish women writers, this book offers fresh insight into the work of emerging and established authors and will appeal to a new generation of readers.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCaitriona Moloney\u003c\/b\u003e is assistant professor of English at Bradley University, Peoria, Illinois.
