Part of Mary Mulvihill Collection
Mulvihill produced and edited two books about historic Irish women scientists: Lab Coats and Lace (Dublin, 2009) and Stars, Shells and Bluebells (Dublin, 1997), (as its publisher, see WITS series for research material for this book). She also wrote a guide for more sustainable living in Drive like a Woman, Shop like a Man (Dublin, 2009). There are some research materials relating to this title within this series but the bulk of its material relates to her seminal book Ingenious Ireland: A County-by-County Exploration of Irish Mysteries and Marvels, which was originally published in 2002 and again after her death in 2019.
It is widely recognised as an outstanding piece of individual research that gave life to the memory of people and places in Ireland associated with scientific, medical and engineering achievements. Other writings within this series are poems written by Mulvihill soon after she left Trinity College in the 1980s and some preparation material for her Ingenious Dublin guidebook. However, the exhaustive research undertaken by Mulvihill for her seminal work provides the content for the most part.
