$A Woman\'s Place Ireland$ A Woman's Place IrelandEp 31: No Republic for Young Women- Why Michael Collins denied women the franchise in 1922Part 2 of our podcast which examines the voter numbers behind the 1922 general election following the signing of the treaty by Michael Collins.

We posit that this exclusion at a fundamental moment of our state meant that the Treaty side swept the 1922 General Election. What we have come to uncover is that Michael Collins along with Arthur Griffith conspired to deny women the vote because they knew that women, especially young women, were ardent Republicans.
