Tale of a Great Sham(e)Text is an electronic text inspired by the work of Anna Parnell (1852-1911). Anna Parnell led the Ladies’ Land League between 1881-1882, the first Irish female political organisation which, after the arrest of thirteen women in 1881, held a simultaneous meeting of between 400 and 500 branches of the Ladies’ Land League on 1st Jan 1882. She wrote a book about her experiences during that time, A Tale of a Great Sham, which was not published until 1986.
