- Summary
- Women played a vital Role in the Irish Revolutionary movement In the years 1913-23, including The Easter Rising, where women fought Side-by-side with their male counterparts in Most of the risings outposts in Dublin, Enniscorthy & Galway during Easter Week of 1916. After the surrender, 77 of these women were arrested along with their male colleagues and taken to Richmond Barracks in Inchicore, Dublin. This book enriches our knowledge of the Revolutionary period by telling the history of the 1916 rising from a more nuanced and balanced perspective through the lens of these women's lives and contribution. Containing detailed biographies of the 77 women, this book reveals motivation to take part in the 1916 rising as well as looking at their lives post-rising and post-independence. Narrated from the view of the women's involvement, the commitment and depth of the contribution of women to the Rising is rediscovered. -- Publisher description.
