Women in Irish History Tour - Private Local Guide

The 20th century marked a paradigm shift in how we view history, particularly the role of gender in shaping it. For too long, history was seen as "men's history," but in countries like Ireland, feminist movements have redefined this narrative. Join me as we explore Dublin through the lens of the remarkable women who helped shape Ireland’s history. This tour isn’t just a series of biographies; instead, we’ll examine key events over the past 250 years through the lives of the women who influenced them. We’ll delve into the stories of radical republican feminists who played vital roles in Ireland’s rebellions and revolutions against Britain, as well as the 20th-century fight for gender equality against the deeply Catholic, conservative Irish state. Discover the powerful rallying cry of Irish feminists: níl aon saoirse go saoirse na mban – "there’s no freedom without freedom for women."
