Sister against sister—Women, the Treaty split and the Civil War - History Ireland Hedge School

Given their activism in the revolutionary period, now widely acknowledged by historians, why were Irish women and their organizations on the margins of deliberations on the Treaty? Why were Irish women under 30 denied the vote in the June 1922 general election? To what extent were they the victims of gendered violence (by either side) during the Civil War? Join History Ireland editor, Tommy Graham, in discussion with Siobhra Aikan (Queen’s, Belfast), Leeann Lane (DCU), Mary McAuliffe (UCD), and Margaret Ward (Queen’s, Belfast)
