Abstract
Abstract This paper examines the articulation of racism and gender in Ireland through an analysis of elite Traveller-related discourses and practices in the period preceding the implementation of a settlement program in the mid-1960s. During this period, elites expressed concern about the vulnerability of non-Traveller women to a masculinised Traveller population. By the 1940s and 1950s protection of non-Traveller women was being invoked as grounds for exclusionary anti-Traveller actions. The articulation of anti-Traveller discourses with an ideology of female domesticity obscured the existence of Traveller women. Traveller women however emerged as targets of efforts at domestication in early settlement policy and practice.
