Following some of the themes of the original ‘An agenda for women's history in Ireland, 1500–1900’ and others that were not as prominent, this article considers progress since 1992 and highlights opportunities for the further development of Irish early modern women's and gender history. It considers aspects of the life cycle of women and men, especially birth, youth and marriage; the economic roles of women, especially when it came to work and property; and the importance of movement to and from Ireland in both personal biographies and wider contexts. It also reflects on some of the ways in which understandings of early modern politics and of religion and belief for the period c.1550–1720 have been transformed by consideration of the role of women. While the ‘Agenda’ noted the potential of buildings and spaces, there has been a new emphasis on ‘things’ as remnants of lives and labour, expressions of cultural norms and tools in the construction of gender, selfhood and social status. Very early on, the ‘Agenda’ strongly stated that ‘the history of women is also the history of men’, and this article also notes the green shoots of the history of masculinity in early modern Ireland.

早期现代性别史的进步、挑战和机遇，约 1550 年至 1720 年

遵循最初的“爱尔兰妇女历史议程，1500-1900 年”的一些主题和其他不那么突出的主题，本文考虑了 1992 年以来的进展，并强调了爱尔兰早期现代妇女和性别历史进一步发展的机会. 它考虑了男女生命周期的各个方面，尤其是出生、青年和婚姻；妇女的经济角色，尤其是在工作和财产方面；以及在个人传记和更广泛的背景下进出爱尔兰的重要性。它还反映了理解早期现代政治以及那个时期的宗教和信仰的一些方式C.1550-1720 已经通过考虑女性的角色而改变。虽然“议程”注意到了建筑和空间的潜力，但新的强调“事物”是生活和劳动的残余，是文化规范的表达，也是构建性别、自我和社会地位的工具。很早以前，《议程》就强烈提出“女性的历史也是男性的历史”，而这篇文章也注意到近代早期爱尔兰男性气质历史的萌芽。
