Abstract
This chapter explores how, in Moment, Deirdre Kinahan demands recognition for feminine subjectivity on the Irish stage, a site in which it has historically been under-represented. In her depiction of her female characters’ struggles to seek recognition and enact agency, Kinahan exposes the constraining and enabling structures within which they live their lives as twenty-first-century, suburban, Irish women. In this chapter, these constraints and enablers are located within a culturally dominant discourse of motherhood.
