This is a six-chapter study of the image of the female in Ní Chuilleanáin's poetry, emphasizing the ways in which she revises conventional cultural images of women in order to challenge stereotypical images and create a more multidimensional perspective on women's lives and achievements. This book explores the way in which she uses history, myth and folklore, religion and ritual, and architectural space to revise and create alternative female figures.
