They called them fallen women, but they were daughters, sisters, and mothers-thirty thousand Irish women who disappeared into convent-run laundries, many never to emerge or be heard from again.THE MAGDALENE WOMEN uncovers one of Ireland's most haunting institutional scandals, where, for over two centuries, women and girls were imprisoned in Magdalene Laundries under the guise of moral reform.
From the discovery of 155 unmarked graves in Dublin to the survivors who finally broke decades of silence, this book exposes the full scope of the Magdalene Laundries' operations and their lasting impact on Irish society. Through personal narratives and official records, readers will witness the journey from institutional abuse to national reckoning, including the landmark 2013 state apology and the ongoing fight for justice.
