Description
Countess Constance Markievicz--one of the most remarkable women in Irish history--was a revolutionary, a socialist, and a feminist, as well as an artist and writer. A natural leader, Markievicz took an active part in the 1916 Rising and was one of the few leaders to escape execution. She would make history as the first woman elected to the British Houses of Parliament. This compelling biography sheds light on all facets of Markievicz's life--her privileged upbringing, her adventures as an art student, her marriage, her political education, her several prison terms, and her emergence as one of the pivotal figures in early 20th century Britain and Ireland. Constance Markievicz battled all her adult life to establish an Irish republic based on co-operation and equality for all. Her message is as relevant today as it was a century ago.
