(Margaret Ward looks at three Irish nationalist women's or...)
Margaret Ward looks at three Irish nationalist women's organizations - the Ladies Land League, Inghinidhe na hEireann and Cumann na mBan - in her study of the contribution Irishwomen have made to the struggle for national independence. Although the three organizations were very different, a common theme emerges - that women have never been seen as an independent force in Irish political history. Mobilized in times of crisis, they have been consistently excluded from positions of influence. This remains true, despite minor concessions, of the Republican movement in the late 1980s.

(Hanna Sheehy Skeffington and two of her sisters were part...)
Hanna Sheehy Skeffington and two of her sisters were part of a pioneering generation of female university students determined to play an active role in political developments. In 1908 Hanna helped found the Irish Women's Franchise League and by 1912 she had served her first term in prison for militantly campaigning for suffragism. With her husband, the feminist and pacifist Frank Sheehy - who took her name and also became Sheehy Skeffington on marriage - she helped to edit the long-running Irish Citizen. During the Easter Rising he urged non-violence but she sympathised with revolutionaries like James Connolly and took supplies to the rebels. Frank was to become one of the victims of those times, and she never forgave the brutality of the British in trying to cover up his murder. Later on she proved herself fearless in her fight for justice, confronting both the British Prime Minister and the President of the United States of America. She was a pivotal figure in feminist, labour and nationalist movements for almost half a century, supporting such causes as Sinn Fein, Russian solidarity, republicans in the Spanish Civil War, and opposing the 1937 Constitution.

Men may carry the surname in genealogy but it is often the women who lead the most interesting and colourful lives. This book is devoted to researching the 'strong but invisible roots of the family tree', namely women, beginning c.1800 until the end of World War II. Although women can be most troublesome for the genealogist because they change their name, Margaret Ward gives plenty of advice on how to track their marriages and other relationships, their careers, legal status and so on through a range of sources.

The Irish suffrage movement consisted of many organisations and involved women from all over the country, of all ages, class and religious backgrounds. In proportion to the size of the country, it was reckoned the equivalent in size and energy to that of the British movement. While there have been studies of some of the personalities and organisations involved in the fight for the vote in Ireland, this is the first time a collection of articles has been published on the subject. It provides a comprehensive coverage of the movement from its beginnings in the mid-nineteenth century to the exciting years when feminist militancy exploded on the streets of Dublin and Belfast.

The purpose of this book of poetry is to encourage reflection on man's challenges in life. This focus centers on a general perspective as well as a personal one. The title, A Step in Time, highlights the fact that time changes things, and that we must keep in step to the adjustments this brings. From the general perspective, changes in life involve accomplishments in technological achievements; whereas, change on a personal level highlights triumphs and failures that are common to the human experience. Therefore, by evaluating these two perspectives, a better appreciation can be made for the changes that are possible and those that are desirable. These life reflections will serve to stimulate the human craving for intellectual pursuits and a quest to express ideas in one's own personal, artistic way.
