Description: |
Stories from Ireland''s Institutions for ''Fallen Women''. Caelainn Hogan - a brilliant young journalist, born out of wedlock in an Ireland that was only just starting to free itself from the worst excesses of Catholic morality - has been talking to the survivors of the institutions and to the religious orders that operated them. She has visited the sites of the institutions and studied state documents that have much to reveal about how they operated. The result is a startling and often moving account of how an entire society colluded to operate a sort of gulag for unmarried mothers and their babies. |
