description: Although viewing Anna Haslam as the more historically significant of the married couple, Quinlan (women's studies, U. College Cork, Ireland) argues that her husband's influence on her public life makes it important to understand their contribution to feminism in Ireland as a couple. She argues that the pair played a major part in promoting suffrage and other feminist issues in Ireland and that their ideas also played a strong role in the UK. Their writings and their participation in political campaigns are integrated into a history of feminism in 19th and 20th century Ireland. Distributed by Stylus.
