81: #81 | A Woman's Place: Motherfocloir Beo In Maynooth

Published: March 8, 2019, 10 a.m.

b"Motherfocl\\xf3ir Beo was recorded in front of a live audience in the Maynooth Students' Union Venue as part of Seachtain na Gaeilge 2019\\\\. Gear\\xf3id\\xedn and Eimear explore the 1937 Constitution and in particular the provision that a woman's place is in the home. Was this a betrayal of Brehon Law and Irish history? Or was it a reflection of what we've always done - sidelining women? Can a country fail the Bechdel Test? Peadar asks the questions as our resident legal eagle and medievalist take on over 1500 years of misogyny and patriarchy.\\n\\n* * *\\n\\nContact the show at https://twitter.com/motherfocloir or email us at motherfocloir@headstuff.org.\\nLearn more about your ad choices.
