The history books left them out. This book puts Cork's women back at the centre of the long fight, from Nano Nagle running hidden Catholic schools under the Penal Laws to the women who carried the revolution of 1916 to 1923. You will meet the Wallace sisters, whose shop was a rebel message centre, Mary MacSwiney, who took up her brother's cause, and the prisoners and hunger strikers the new state chose to forget. Nine chapters that recover a record almost lost. Illustrated. Digital download (PDF).
