Sumario:This article reviews the main subjects explored by Irish writer Maeve Brennan in The Rose Garden's short stories, considering the stories divided into thematic groups. She was attentive to the impressive number of Irish women arriving alone in the USA due to of the lack of jobs in Ireland. From the observation of outsider women, Brennan exposes the vices of New York society and gives voice to a group that usually did not play a leading role in the literature of the 1950s: immigrant, lonely and ugly women, and women living the last stage of adult life before becoming elderly.
