There are so many amazing historians such as Linda Connolly, Mary McAuliffe, Gemma Clark, Margaret Ward, etc. examining not just the role of famous women like Constance Markievicz or Mary MacSwiney or bad ass Kathleen Clarke and Hanna Sheehy-Skeffington, but also the role and experiences of everyday women who weren’t even necessarily involved in republicanism or the Free State apparatus, but still suffered from reprisals, acts of violence, etc. Learn how the Irish Civil War affected everyday women's lives.
