Nine writers trace the public and private lives of nine sets of
sisters. Artists, publishers, writers, educationalists,
philanthropists, revolutionaries, suffragists - thinkers all.
Independent women with hopes and ideals who overcame barriers, even
within their own families, to their participation in public life.
Their stories have often been overlooked by the mainstream
historical record. These essays take readers on a journey through
the centuries from the 1600s to the turbulent years of the
independence struggle in 1900s Ireland and uncover the influence,
support and rivalries of family. Nualaidh, Maire and Mairghread O
