About this listen
Happy Women's History Month! In Women Resisting Empire's first ever episode, I'll be discussing Irish Rebel Constance Markievicz.
Constance Markievicz is one of those legends from the fight for Irish Independence that seems bigger than life. She was born into an Anglo-Irish landowning family and, by all accounts, she should have ended up a Unionist married to some English soldier or lord. Instead, she turned into a bohemian artist, socialist, suffragist, officer in the Irish Citizen Army, the first woman to win a seat in British Parliament, the only woman in De Valera’s cabinet, and Irish Republican married to a Polish Count.
Learn how she fought for Irish Independence and resisted the Anglo-Irish Treaty.
Theme song: Arabesque Op.61 by Cécile-Chaminade
