This week Maria and Shaunna come to you from lock down to talk about Kathleen Lynn your newest feminist icon. Dr Lynn was one of the first female doctors in Ireland, a revolutionary who was active in the 1916 Rising and War of Independence and who also founded her own hospital. Maria also gets to talk about syphilis again. It always comes back to syphilis...
We may be going a bit mad from the lockdown.
