Emigration, exile and diaspora occupy a problematic place in the Irish literary tradition. This article is mainly interested in exploring the importance of feminine narratives in the Irish emigration history and its rich tradition in literary responses and representations. Irish women are no longer the silent objects of poetry and narratives but increasingly they are the authors of it. The article transgresses the national boundaries and offers a voice and a space to the other, namely Irish womanhood. Irish women are usually excluded from the social processes that are of relevance to their lives and nation. So, there is a close connection between gender and nationality that is constructed in relation to the other, the silenced and the oppressed. The article observes that Irish women participate actively in the process of reproducing, maintaining and modifying their roles in the production of national identity. Besides, the Irish feminized narratives in poetry and novels show a sustained interest in recovering the story of the Irish emigrant woman, a narrative that was underrepresented in both historical accounts and literary representations. The current article approaches exile in contemporary Irish literature as it moves away from the set of meanings associated with the largely male-centered Irish literary tradition and advocates a conflated connection between gender and nationality. Therefore, the article underlines the importance of the feminized narratives as they offer Irish female authors a place to engage with the past and the present, charting the processes of social, cultural and national transformation.
