Overview

Mondays at Gaj's traces the lives of the fascinating group of women who founded the Irish Women's Liberation Movement. Gaj's was the Baggot Street restaurant where the IWLM met every Monday night. When the group formed in 1970, the marriage bar was in place, contraception was illegal and women's issues were just beginning to be debated. The women who formed the IWLM, including Mairin de Burca, Mary Maher, Nell McCafferty, Moira Woods, Mairin Johnston and Mary Kenny, to name but a few, were some of the most dynamic, controversial and exciting public figures of their time. They were able to grab the public's attention as no women ever had because they were fearless and charismatic, and their achievements have entered the annals of modern Irish history: their charter of demands, Chains or Change, their legendary appearance on The Late Late Show, and the Contraceptive Train to Belfast, which directly challenged the ban on contraceptives. By summer 1971, the IWLM had disintegrated, but its impact on women in Ireland cannot be underestimated. What sets Mondays at Gaj's apart from other histories of the women's rights movement is that it is based on a series of personal interviews with the activists themselves, allowing the IWLM founders to tell their own stories in their own words. Mondays at Gaj's paints a fascinating portrait of an exciting period in Ireland's cultural history.
