This paper examines the gendering of unionist national identity in Northern Ireland through an analysis of organizations that are central to unionist politics today. While the commonplace observation that unionist women are "tea makers" conveys a critical dimension of the gender order within unionism, it does not fully capture the significance of women's contributions to the establishment or maintenance of unionism. The article analyzes how Stormont constituted an ethnogender regime, examines unionist women's political engagement during the Stormont era & under direct rule, investigates how the peace process & Good Friday (Belfast) Agreement have affected the unionist ethno-gender order & the gender politics of unionism, & explores the possibilities for political transformation. 61 References.
