Mná na hEireann , A Celebration of the Women of the Revolution
CAROL LEAVEY JOYCE PRESENTS
Mná na hEireann, a celebration in Music and Dance of the women who formed Cumann na mBan (The Irishwomen’s Council) and Inghinidhe na hÉireann (Daughters of Ireland), led by luminaries including Maud Gonne MacBride and Countess Markievicz, however the vast majority of the women would never achieve celebrity or status and have largely been airbrushed out of history. One such woman, Nurse Elizabeth O’Farrell, who delivered the surrender with Pádraig Pearse after the Easter Rising in 1916, is a particular focus in this show.
