Professor Senia Paseta
I am a political historian of modern Ireland and Britain, with a particular interest in the history of feminism, education, and political activism. I have published on several aspects of women’s history, including the history of feminism, women’s suffrage and women’s education.
My most recent book, Irish Nationalist Women, 1900-1918 (Cambridge, 2013), examines how politically active women worked within nationalist and feminist contexts in early twentieth-century Ireland. I am currently finishing a book on further forms of Irish women's political activism, including unionism, socialism, and women’s suffrage in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. I am interested in connections between Irish and British radical politics and have written about the centrality of the Irish Question to the women's suffrage movement across the United Kingdom.
I am co-director of the Oxford Martin Programme on Women's Equality and Inequality, and am project lead for Education and Activism: Women at Oxford, 1878-1920.
