I think being a woman is like being Irish. Everyone says you're important and nice, but you take second place all the time. Iris Murdoch When it comes to Irish history, the lives and achievements of Irish women have long been ignored. Seeking to rectify this, Passion & Plight: The Women Who Shaped Ireland, takes you on a fascinating journey through Irish history where you will meet the voracious Queen Medbh who claimed to take thirty lovers a day, healer of people and animals Biddy Early who was brought to court in Ennis on charges of Witchcraft, and pirate queen Grace O Malley who held Queen Elizabeth in her thrall. You will also be introduced to pioneering surgeon Dr. James Barry, born Margaret Bulkley, who, posing as a man, became the first woman in Britain to graduate in medicine, seventy years before women were permitted to study the subject in University. Then there's the incredible Irish aviatrix Lady Mary Heath who is said to have crossed the Sahara armed with a shotgun, a couple of tennis rackets, six tea gowns, a Bible and a fur coat. Meet all of these inspirational Irish women and many more, including Nano Nagle, Bernadette Devlin, Sinead O' Connor, Joan Denise Moriarty, Nan Joyce, Eavan Boland and Mary Robinson, in Passion & Plight: The Women Who Shaped Ireland.
