This full-length biographical study - substantially rewritten and
updated - of one of the most important women in Irish political
life in the 20th century is now reissued by UCD Press. Hanna Sheehy
Skeffington, part of a pioneering generation, played a significant
role in the early Irish Republic. Hanna Sheehy Skeffington was a
leading figure in the suffrage movement, she was an activist in the
anti-war movement of 1914-18 and was an executive member of Sinn
Fein. She opposed the Free State and provided consistent support
for women's resistance to anti-women measures enacted by both
Cumann na nGaedheal and Fianna Fail. Her later career saw her as an
electoral candidate to the Dail in 1943 and she proved herself
fearless in her fight for justice, confronting both the British
Prime Minister and the President of the United States of America.
Incorporating new archival research and featuring an array of newly
discovered images, Ward brings to light previously unpublished
material about Hanna's personal life: her relationship with her
husband and her role as a single parent. This timely revised
edition serves to highlight the fascinating life of a pivotal
figure in feminist, labour and nationalist movements in Ireland.
