This is the captivating story of Charles Stewart Parnell's sister.
In the late nineteenth century, before women had the vote, a group
of respectable ladies operated outside the law to fight for the
rights of the landless poor in Ireland. These women were feared by
both the British government and Irish Republicans. They were
considered too militant, even by the militants, and because they
were women, even the law couldn't stop them. They were the Ladies'
Land League, founded in January 1881 by Miss Anna Stewart Parnell.
When the male leaders of the original Land League were imprisoned
by the British, the Ladies League took over their work. Exploiting
loopholes in the law, they soon became more successful than the
men, establishing over 400 branches in Ireland. But when Anna
started questioning the men's political strategies instead of
merely distributing alms, she became a threat to more than the
British - she became a threat to the Republican movement itself.
There was only one man who could silence her: Her brother, Charles
Stewart Parnell. And he did.
