Twenty essays on Irish women, historical and contemporary, who have
defied cultural norms around femininity and achieved great things. The
subjects include Irish women from Queen Medb to Eileen Gray, from
Constance Markievicz to Sonia O'Sullivan, covering stateswomen, artists,
writers, activists and rebels of all kinds.
Written by multi-award-winning author and first Laureate na nÓg (Irish
Children's Laureate) Siobhán Parkinson. Perfect for use in schools as
well as for leisure listening, this collection celebrates the role of
women in Ireland's changing society.
