So much of Irish literature is just ‘this woman is a personification of Ireland, you want to fuck her but she’s also your ma’
#cathleen nihoulhan i am looking directly at u
#mad stuff altogether
#like there are reasons for this
#the first of course being that colonial literature feminised the countries they colonise and the native people to present them as weak
#and therefore in need of colonisation
#but this also served nationalist interests
#Ireland is both the beautiful young maiden in need of rescue from the colonising power
#but also the loving mother who is willing to sacrifice her sons for her freedom
#but either way the women themselves do not get a voice
#which is - surprise surprise - reflected in the history of Irish politics
