Welcome to another episode of Talking Tudors, hosted by Natalie Grueninger. In this episode, we explore the profound journeys of Irish women religious during the turmoil of the 16th and 17th centuries with Dr. Bronagh McShane, a distinguished historian and research fellow at Trinity College, Dublin.
Dr. McShane sheds light on the lives of Irish nuns who navigated suppression, exile, and reintegration during times of intense religious and political upheaval. Discover how these remarkable women preserved their religious identities, built transnational networks, and contributed significantly to the Catholic Reformation in Europe.
We delve into the challenges and resilience of these women as they faced societal pressures, navigated clandestine communities, and fostered education within their ranks. Join us as we uncover the indelible mark that Irish nuns left on history and their enduring legacy in shaping faith and community amidst adversity.
Dr McShane is Research Fellow in History on the VOICES project at Trinity College Dublin.
