Reviews
''Key’s study is essential reading for scholars of early Irish literature. Her thorough research and careful examination of the intersection between gender and mythology provide a fresh perspective on the representation of women in early Irish sagas. The book’s interdisciplinary approach enriches our understanding of both literature and the cultural role of women in ancient Ireland."
