Describing Irish as 'female' and 'bestial' is a practice dating back to twelfth century, while for women, inside and outside of Ireland, their association with children and other 'savages' has had a long history, this study examines a tradition of Irish women writers deploying 'natural' as a gesture to paternalist regulation of female energies.
