Participant in BBC One TV documentary Out of the Silence.
Ulster Scots poet Anne McMaster explores how women’s writing in Ulster has moved from the margins into the mainstream and how Ulster-Scots has been embraced and revitalised by a new generation. She uncovers unsung literary heroines from our past and meets members of the new generation of female writers from Northern Ireland, to find what has inspired their literary imaginations. She also considers how Ulster-Scots, after decades of rejection within the classroom, has been embraced and revitalized by a new generation of writers, including herself.
