Fearless Woman: Hanna Sheehy Skeffington, Feminism and the Irish Revolution
€ 31.25
ISBN: 9781910820407
This full-length biographical study of one of the most important women in Irish political life in the 20th century is now reissued by UCD Press. Hanna Sheehy Skeffington, part of a pioneering generation, played a significant role in the early Irish Republic.
Hanna Sheehy Skeffington's involvement in the new Irish state included playing a leading role in the suffrage movement, being an activist in the anti-war movement of 1914-18 and being an executive member of Sinn Fein. She opposed the Free State and provided consistent support for women's resistance to anti-women measures enacted by both Cumann na nGaedheal and Fianna Fail. Her later career saw her as an electoral candidate to the Dail in 1943 and, later on, she proved herself fearless in her fight for justice, confronting both the British Prime Minister and the President of the United States of America.
This timely new edition highlights the fascinating life of a pivotal figure in feminist, labour and nationalist movements in Ireland.
