The younger of two children, Angela speaks to growing up in Bray with her older brother, her flower-shop worker mother and her market gardener father. Politics was a huge part of Angela’s life, from home to secondary school to university to her adult life. Attending Loreto Convent in the 80s, Angela reminisces on the pop culture and music scene of the time. She describes this as an intensely political time in Ireland, referencing the Eight Amendment, Ann Lovett, and the AIDs Crisis. Studying Psychology and Sociology in Trinity, Angela references class, feminism, sexual health and activism, all of which played a part in her young adult life. With summers spent abroad working, like many Irish students in the mid 80s, Angela travelled to London, Copenhagen and Berlin. At this period in her life, Angela reflects on the disappointment of the defeated 80s Divorce Referendum, the struggle with the conservative politics of Ireland of the time, the anti-Irishness in London and the impact the Troubles were still having. Angela speaks to the 80s experience of emigrating, ending up in London to pursue a career in psychology, ultimately working in sexual health services. In her experience of emigration, Angela reflects on traversing place and belonging as an emigrant and the healing nature Repeal the Eighth brought to her relationship with Ireland. 2026-03-23 Birkbeck College, University of London yes metadata_and_data_files yes staff Úna Gan A Gúna Irish Women’s Oral History Collective Interviews with a range of women born in Ireland during the twentieth century or those with Irish connections. The aim was to gather the stories, memories and opinions of Irish women born in each decade of the twentieth century, about their experiences between the approximate ages of 15 and 25. The sample was found simply through women with whom volunteer interviewers had a connection or through Irish organisations. Interviews were recorded and participants checked and approved the transcripts and recordings.
