Mna na hEireann: Women who Shaped Ireland Book

"All too often when people discuss important figures in Irish history, only men are represented. When women are mentioned, it tends to be the same one or two well-known figures. Yet Irish history is full of an impressive array of women who have brought change and progress to the island and their stories are collected together for the first time in Mna na hEireann." From nuns to aviators and revolutionaries to civil rights campaigners, Mna na hEireann profiles over fifty formidable Irish women. These profiles bring to life the amazing courage, determination and selfless actions of the inspirational women who have shaped this nation.
