Description
The figure of the 'wise woman', the 'hag', or the 'Red Woman' are part of an oral tradition which has its roots in pre-Christian Ireland. This title explores these figures to reveal how they offered a complex understanding of the world, of human psychology and its predicaments. It brings to the fore universal themes such as death and marriage.
