AB According to Ingman (2009:253), throughout the history of the Irish short story the dialogue between male and female writers has been constant. Stories by women do not necessarily reveal a different approach to the form, but a strong determination to put women’s lives at the centre of their work. The purpose of this paper is to study whether there is dialogue between John McGahern’s novel Amongst Women (1990) and Claire Keegan’s short story “The Forester’s Daughter” (2007) and, if so, to explore how Keegan takes up the ironic challenge explicit in McGahem’s work concerning issues such as marriage, family relations, religion and women’s lives and makes it her own.
