The Drama of War in the Theatre of Anne Devlin, Marie Jones, and Chistina Reid, Three Irish Playwrights

The representation of war in the plays of Anne Devlin, marie Jones, and Christina Reid demonstrates a symbiotic relationship between war and gender, showing women's response to war as complex and diverse. Far from confining their activities to guarding the hearth, they sustained and protected communities, even becoming involved in the action, before diverting their interests and energies to the peace process.
