I can't tell you anything specific about the Maquires, but there is now a fairly
large body of research on early modern Irish women. The place to start is
Maragaret MacCurtain and Mary O'Dowd, eds., Women in early modern Ireland,
(Edinburgh, 1991), the same authors also have written "An Agenda for women's
history in Ireland," in Irish Historical Studies, May, 1992. 1-19. On more
political matters, see Ciaran Brady, "Political Women and reform in early
modern Ireland," in MacCurtain and O'Dowd collection. There is also a modest
revision of my own, "Gender, Violence, and Rebellion in Tudor and Stuart
Ireland, in The Sixteenth Century Journal 23 4(Winter, 1992): 699-712. You
might also want to contact the Irish Association for Research in Women's
History. I don't have an address but some other H-Albion subscriber might.
I hope this helps. Good luck!
