This chapter examines how Anglo-American commentators represented the political agency of Irish immigrant servants from the late nineteenth to early twentieth century, a period in which the Irish diaspora provided crucial support for nationalist organisations. It focuses in particular on the caricature of the gullible domestic sacrificing her meagre earnings to Irish nationalists, a trope that remained in wide circulation up to the 1920s. The chapter begins with a discussion of bourgeois unease about the perceived spending power of Irish female immigrants, showing how contemporary discourses on changing class and gender roles trickled into commentary on Irish political activism. It then assesses the function of Irish servant caricatures in critiques of both revolutionary republicanism and constitutional nationalism. Finally, it looks at how servant conduct became a metaphor for Irish political demands in the wake of World War I.
