Abstract
During the trial, the Moscow District Court became the venue of a conflict over the relationship between the state and the marketplace, as prosecutors developed a critique of elite property owners' seemingly limitless thirst for wealth as a crime against the middle classes. Women and the Death Penalty in Post-Independence Ireland," is the first major study of the capital punishment of women in Ireland. Black studies government documents at the National Archives of Ireland to contribute to a burgeoning literature on the religious landscape of the Irish carceral state, especially in the activities of Magdalen laundries where women convicts were subjected to draconian measures.
