Meet researchers and presenters of the hugely popular Bad Bridgets podcast, Dr Leanne McCormick and Dr Elaine Farrell for a conversation hosted by Catriona Crowe in which they explore the world of criminal and deviant Irish women convicted in America from 1838 to 1918.
Their fascinating research and podcast has revealed that Irish-born migrants feature frequently in registers relating to prisons, houses of correction and houses of industry. They will share some fascinating
individual stories which reveal the lived realities and experiences for Irish girls and women who left Ireland for the ‘new world’.
