Paperback. Stories in history habitually relate the deeds of men but less frequently speak of the equally important contribution of women. When Irish immigrants began arriving in the new colonies of Australia and New Zealand they energetically contributed to the development of a new culture. This was especially true in the area of social progress.Irish Women in the Antipodes: Foregrounded is a collection of Irish women's contributions to life in the Antipodes, stories that have been neglected or insufficiently acknowledged. The contributors have used all available tools to find these women in the archives, public records, newspapers, and family histories, taking them from the proverbial footnotes of history to the foreground.The first seven chapters focus on Irish women in South Australia, an under-researched group among the Irish diaspora regardless of gender, and while there are new accounts of women that readers may know of such as Mary Lee and Bee Walshe, this volume introduces us to many more of these pioneering women whose hidden lives have now been brought to the fore. Irish Women in the Antipodes is a collection of Irish women's contributions to life in the Antipodes, stories that have been insufficiently acknowledged. The contributors have found these women in the archives, public records, newspapers, and family histories, taking them from the proverbial footnotes of history to the foreground.

About the Author
Dr Stephanie James holds an adjunct position within the College of Humanities, Arts and Social Sciences at Flinders University, Adelaide, South Australia. Following years of History teaching at secondary and tertiary level, in 2005 she embarked on a Masters which focused on colonial South Australia's largest minority group - the Irish. From 2010 to 2013, her PhD examined Irish Australian attitudes toward the British Empire at times of imperial crisis. Subsequent research and publications have explored further aspects related to Australia's Irish during World War One as well as issues impacting on Irish South Australians at the turn of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. One of the organisers of the 2019 ISAANZ conference in Adelaide, she was also an editor of Irish South Australia: New histories and insights (2019). In 2020, Stephanie contributed an item on 'The Irish' for the 2024 edition of The Wakefield Companion to South Australian History.
Dr Dymphna Lonergan is a retired academic from Flinders University (Adelaide, South Australia) with adjunct status. She has continued her ongoing interest in the Irish language and Irish Australia history since retirement. She is a member of the editorial collective for the online Irish Australian magazine Tintean and was part of the editorial group for Irish South Australia: New histories and insights (Wakefield Press, 2019) which included her chapters on 'G.S. Kingston and other pioneers in South Australia' and 'Cultural capital and Irish place names'. Her PhD research on the Irish language in Australia resulted in the book Sounds Irish (2004). In addition, she has published two bilingual short story collections: As Gaeilge (2022) and Scealta Eile (2023) with Immortalise, South Australia.
Dr Fidelma McCorry (nee Breen) completed a Master of Philosophy in history studying Irish nationalism and loyalism in colonial South Australia at the University of Adelaide in 2013.
