Description

This book is the story of a legend. Marie was born at the end of the nineteenth century, grew up in the early days of the twentieth century and became a legend in the months culminating with the Easter Rising in 1916. This is her story. The history of Ireland is replete with legendary characters. Fionn MacCumhaill, Cuchulainn, Queen Meadhbh, Granuaile, Wolfe Tone, Jonathan Swift, Constance Markievicz and Michael Collins are only a few. For centuries, these legends have captured the imagination of Irish people everywhere and contributed significantly to our literature, history and culture. Some of these legends are well known historic figures. Others are also historic, but over the centuries much about their lives has been lost in the mists of time. Many others may or may not have ever lived. In every case, however, it is memorable words or heroic deeds that make a legend. Consequently there are also those who, by choice or by circumstance remain completely anonymous, leaving only the memory of their heroic acts. But these characters are no less legendary. One hundred years ago an Irish Republic was declared. The rebellion which followed was quickly crushed by the might of the British Empire but, ultimately, it led to a free and independent country. Among the legends who emerged from that struggle were many women whose names will never be known. And yet, without their deeds, there would be no modern Ireland. Marie presents her story on behalf of those women, legends all."
