Publisher's Summary
BEING ECLIPSED describes women’s lives under the care of the Church and State in Ireland at the beginning of the mid-19th century throughout the 20th century. It gives an overview of women who had to turn to prostitution out of necessity in order to survive, and also on nuns who were put in charge of them under catholic church rule creating a double-standard. Women were treated as the “Social Evil” when they were not considered pure and innocent by State and Church. This ignorant behavior let basically to failing women instead of protecting them within society.
