“The Trad Wife thing has very little to do with what real women did 50 years ago” Nollaig na mBan in 2026

Joining the discussion are Rev Dr Noirin Ni Riain, an interfaith minister and acclaimed spiritual singer; Catherine Prasifska, a novelist and feminist voice; and Andrea Horan, a businesswoman and activist. They explore the true essence of Nollaig na mBan, linking it to themes of female solidarity and modern interpretations. The panel critiques the tradwife movement's disconnect from genuine historical roles while advocating for community support for women and parents. They also address the cultural implications of rising nationalism and celebrate everyday heroines.
