Join us at this special presentation by Patricia McCarthy from the Irish Embassy and Peter Mayberry (FHACT) uncovering the stories of the women who shaped Ireland’s long struggle for independence. From smuggling messages and leading protests to commanding battalions and enduring solitary confinement, these remarkable figures proved that the road to freedom was never just a man’s march.

You’ll hear about Constance Markievicz, Maud Gonne, Anne Devlin, Betsy Gray, and other fearless women whose courage and conviction left an indelible mark on Irish history.

Don’t miss the chance to have their stories brought vividly to life by Peter and Patricia.
