It's Not Just About Irish Women

Yes I know my PhD analyzes Irishwomen's representation of Continental Europe from the Act of Union of 1800 through contemporary Ireland, but it simply isn't all about the Irish women.    You might be wondering what I'm on about, but let me explain by way of an example.  These past two weeks I've set down the works of the two writers whose works form the subject of my third chapter and have spent most of my time reading histories of nineteenth-century France, histories of banking, and Honoré de Balzac.

The Most Wonderful Time of the Year

It's time to dust off the old Leinster, Munster, Connacht, or Ulster kit and sit in a pub for hours on a Saturday afternoon.  That's right; it's Six Nations time again!  Forget bowl season, forget the superbowl.  None of them compare to the international rugby tournament between England, Ireland, Scotland, Wales, France, and Italy.
