We cordially invite you to a lecture Feminist Interventions: How the Waking the Feminists movement changed Irish theatre by doc. Clare Wallace MA, PhD.

This lecture examines the legacy of the Waking the Feminists movement, which arose in response to women’s exclusion from the Abbey Theatre’s 1916 centenary programme. Beginning as online activism, the campaign sparked debate about gender inequality in Irish theatre. The talk reviews changes in leadership and programming at the Abbey over the past decade, highlighting progress, ongoing challenges, and the continued importance of feminist critique in shaping cultural institutions.

The lecture will take place on November 18, 2025 in room P018 (Filozofická fakulta Univerzity Karlovy, nám. Jana Palacha 1/2, Praha 1).
