This illuminating book brings together interviews with contemporary women artists whose work was exhibited in Ireland in the 1990s - a significant decade for art in Ireland, particularly for women artists. While the artists interviewed live and work internationally, each has an individual and complex relationship to Ireland, responding in their work to its landscapes, stories, language and histories and engaging with a wide range of concerns including motherhood and family, sexuality, and dislocation. An equally wide range of media are used, from painting to installation; from performance to public art projects. Artists interviewed: Orla Barry, Maud Cotter, Pauline Cummins, Rita Duffy, Frances Hegarty, Jaki Irvine, Sandra Johnston, Sharon Kelly, Alice Maher, Susan MacWilliam, Mary McIntyre, Alanna O'Kelly, Catherine Owens, Vivienne Roche, Anne Tallentire and Louise Walsh.
