“…It was also the focal point of many articles in the Irish Citizen, a suffrage journal that emerged in 1912 in response to widening divisions among British and Irish suffragists because of an intensifying campaign for Home Rule which, of course, included the decision made by the Irish Parliamentary Party to oppose the passing of the 1912 Conciliation Bill and therefore the female franchise in Britain. 38 However, the periodical with which this article is most concerned is Bean na hEireann [the Bean], translating as Woman of Ireland, which ran from 1908 to 1911 and which pronounced itself the first Irish nationalist-feminist paper. The Bean was the organ of Inghinidhe na hEireann (Daughters of Ireland), a radical nationalist, promilitant women's group that would later merge with Cumman na mBan, the women's wing of the Irish Republican Army.…”

Shame has been heavily relied on as a political tool in the modern world and yet it is still a much under-historicised emotion. Using the examples of early twentieth-century Britain and Ireland, I examine how women opposed to the campaign for female suffrage used shame instrumentally in their writing. Exploring the versatility of this political device, I find that shame was used with the oppositional intentions of binding and excluding. Whereas British conservatives used it to protect an already well-established imagined community of good imperial women, Irish radicals drew on it to invite women to take part in the construction of a new nationalist sisterhood. This paper further problematizes claims that as an emotion that plays on a sense of the communal, shame has had no place in a highly individualistic modern world.

The generally accepted story is that British militant suffragists performed an unexpected and abrupt move away from the feminist movement and towards a fiercely jingoistic nationalist campaign once the war began in 1914. Yet, given the nature of exchanges between Irish and British militant feminists, Irish feminists should not have been surprised by this turn from gender solidarity to English nationalism. In this article, I argue that Irish-British militant feminist entanglements worked to expose the powerful role that English nationalism played in suffrage politics at a time when nearly all the focus was on the disruptive influence of Irish nationalism.
