  • Portraits of Women Writers, Activists and Artists in Early 20th Century
    Listen back to Dublin: One City, One Book 2018, when we celebrated The Long Gaze Back, and the female voice in Irish literature. This anthology of 30 short stories is edited by Sinead Gleeson.
    In this episode, Jessica Fahy, examines the choices made in the portrayal of significant women from Irish history by leading artists of the day, and how these images may still inform our opinions today. The remarkable women featured in Jessica's talk include Countess Markievicz, Eva Gore Booth, Maud Gonne, Grace Plunkett and Sarah Cecilia Harrison.
