In this week’s episode, we travel back to the days of the Irish Suffragette Movement. Annaig explains the difference between suffragette and suffragist, the suffragette flag and a timeline of the incredible works of Anna Maria Haslam (né Fisher). Henna discusses the other Irish political movements at the time, mainly the push for Home Rule, and we learn how it overshadowed the suffragette movement considerably, even after women won the right to vote.
