Lace was one of Limerick's most important industries and the city gave its name to a particular style of lace. Limerick lace earned a reputation for quality from its earliest days and this sustained the industry for over 150 years. Women played a central role in the industry as makers, wearers, designers, and purchasers of lace. This book traces the history of the Limerick Lace trade
