Mn na h ireann Roadshow
Clara Rose Thornton is joining Dr. Myles Dungan and a team of Ireland’s most sought-after women historians to offer libraries, county councils, country houses, history groups and festivals a unique package of lectures and presentations on the changing lives and roles of Mn na h ireann a century ago.
Catriona Crowe, former Head of Special Projects at the National Archives of Ireland; Dr. Kate O’Malley, of the Royal Irish Academy; and author Liz Gillis will also be among the key contributors celebrating 2018 as the centenary of Irish women winning the right to vote, and the election of Ireland’s first female member of parliament – Countess Markiewicz.
Leitrim, Cavan and Louth are among the counties the roadshow will visit in 2017/18.
This 2018 roadshow builds on Dr. Dungan’s hugely successful history roadshows The Fighting Irish (2010+), The Great War Roadshow (2014/15) and Paths To Freedom (2016/17).
