Twenty women from the Dingle gaeltacht look back on their lives and
the changes they have witnessed from childhood to the present day.
The accounts they give are intimate, recalling their personal lives
but their memories and experiences extend beyond the personal.
Collectively, they provide a commentary on the changing face of
Ireland. These women, who are familiar with the hedge schools and
the famine from the first hand accounts of their grandparents, now
connect with their grandchildren on their mobile phones. In their
youth, healing relied on the use of herbs and such traditional
healers as the bonesetter; today they have medical centres and home
help. They have seen the arrival of radio, television, flush
toilets and the page-three pin-up; new-found affluence and
political, clerical and local scandal. They have taken much in
their stride, and their vitality and resourcefulness continue to
glow.
