The history of the Irish republican movement is dominated by the
story of the men who took up arms in Ireland's fight for freedom
against the British. The names of men like Pearse, Connolly,
Collins and Barry still resonate today as heroes who won
independence for Ireland. However, the critical role of women in
this fight for freedom has often been overlooked. Renegades
examines the part played by women in the major political and social
revolutions that took place from 1900- 1922. It explores the
growing separation of republican women into two distinct groups,
those active on the military side in Cumann na mBan and those
involved on the political side, particularly with Sinn Fein. It
also looks at the often ignored 'war on women', which manifested
itself in the form of physical and sexual assaults by both sides
during the War of Independence, and the fury of female republicans
as the political establishment accepted the Anglo-Irish Treaty. In
this evocative account, Renegades restores the women of the
republican movement to the prominent place they deserve in Irish
history.
