In The Missing Sex she argues that the 'collective amnesia of male historians must be revealed and interrogated and the vibrant history of Irish women reclaimed in all its rich complexity. LIP, provocative, polemical pamphlets on contemporary issues and controversies, by Irish women writers, thinkers and activists. 'A fitting and brave development; it's more Lip we want, indeed.'
