Queering the Irish Revolution: Same-sex relationships among Irish female revolutionaries

Dr Mary McAuliffe will use the diaries of revolutionaries and activists Rosamund Jacob and Kathleen Lynn and the memoirs and archives of other suffrage and revolutionary women to look at the interlaced cohort of radical women who choose radical lives and radical loves. The women of this generation, many of whom came to feminism, socialism, and militant nationalism in the first decade of the 1900s, not only chose radical politics, they also choose radical lives.

This event is part of Féile 2024.
