SUMMARY:Exhibit: Irish Women Rising: Gender and Politics in Revolutionary Ireland, 1900-1923
DESCRIPTION:<p> <a href="http://libguides.bc.edu/hours">Library hours</a></p><p>As they engaged in the national struggle for independence from British rule, Irish women had to break through cultural and social restraints. They organized politically and militarily. They fought alongside men, went to jail, and on hunger strikes. Kathleen Clarke, Maud Gonne, Constance Markievicz, Margaret Skinnider, and hundreds of other brave and determined women achieved their purpose and place in history. Featuring newly acquired, never-before-seen documents and artifacts, as well as an original 1916 Easter Rising Proclamation, this exhibition tells their stories.</p>
