Áirithint áit ar Constance Markievicz : Irish RevolutionaryA revised, illustrated edition of this landmark 1988 biography of one of the great women of Irish history, and Europe's first elected female politician."Constance Gore-Booth de Markievicz was a socialist, a feminist, a land-reformer, a republican, and a nationalist - all tendencies that, except for the last, came up with the short end of the stick following the Anglo-Irish Treaty of 1922 which, as happens in so many real or supposed revolutions, ensured that the hands on the levers of power changed, but the essential structures of that power remained largely intact. She was also a woman, at a time when even many of her socialist and reformist colleagues had no interest in conceding any real, or certainly visible, leadership role to women. And, finally, she was an aristocrat, an artist, and a free spirit. How Constance combined, confronted, and/or managed to work through, these contradictions and challenges makes for a fascinating story."
