Abstract
The research question for this study focused on women’s mobilisation in the community of
Gatesville, Athlone, and whether and how they are challenging the gendered structures within
both their homes (private sphere) and their public spaces. This is based on the assumption, led by
radical feminist theory, that the public sphere is affected by gendered practices in the home
(private sphere). The study made use of a qualitative approach grounded in narrative inquiry and
is presented in a narrative format and thematic analysis.
