A repost from my new podcast: Women Resisting Empire.

Constance Markievicz is one of those legends from the fight for Irish Independence that seems bigger than life. She was born into an Anglo-Irish landowning family and, by all accounts, she should have ended up a Unionist married to some English soldier or lord. Instead, she turned into a bohemian artist, socialist, suffragist, officer in the Irish Citizen Army, the first woman to win a seat in British Parliament, the only woman in De Valera’s cabinet, and Irish Republican married to a Polish Count.

Learn how she fought for Irish Independence and resisted the Anglo-Irish Treaty.

Theme song: Arabesque Op.61 by Cécile-Chaminade
