In the case of Knocknagow (Ireland 1918) and Guests of the Nation (Ireland 1935)\, two significant films in the early history of Irish cinema\, very little is known about the screenwriters – Mrs. NF Patton (Knocknagow) and Mary Manning (Guests of the Nation). These films could be considered landmark films in early Irish cinema history at the level of narrative theme\, historical significance and audience appeal. Both films were written by women but very little historical references are found for either writer. Examining the archive material of both these films\, this study traces through the reviews of these films\, the place awarded to the screenwriter in the documented history. Is this just a case of the screenwriter being cast to the periphery or is there further marginalisation happening at the level of gender? Drawing on theories around social capital\, this paper explores what the barriers are to recognition and record. Is the status of the male author privileged over that of the screenwriter\, or is there a gender bias at work\, relegating women screenwriters to the margins\, on two levels\, as screenwriters and as women?  \nDr DÌ_Ì_g O’Connell \nlectures in Film & Media Studies at the Institute of Art\, Design & Technology\, Dun Laoghaire\, Co. Dublin. She is the author of New Irish Storytellers: Narrative Strategies in Film (Intellect\, 2010) and Documentary in a Changing State (Cork University press\, 2012). She has written extensively on Irish Cinema\, Television Drama and Screenwriting. She has also been a member of a Writers’ Team for Irish television drama.
