During the 1970s women in Catholic/nationalist districts of Belfast organized led popular resistance against the policies of the government of Northern Ireland and later against those of the British. The author here argues that these hitherto invisible practices were an integral part of the social dynamic of the conflict, with important implications for broader forms of resistance and gender relationships. 15 photos.
