WHAT did the women do anyway? It’s a provocative title for what promises to be a fascinating public talk planned for the Garden Restaurant in Muckross House, Killarney this Friday night at 7.30pm.
It will be delivered by respected historian Liz Gillis, who has written a series of books about the Irish Revolution, including Women of the Irish Revolution, Revolution in Dublin and The Fall of Dublin.
Liz has a degree in Irish history and works as a curatorial assistant in RTÉ. She has worked as a researcher on numerous publications, participated in many conferences focusing on the Irish revolution and has also developed a Revolution-themed walking tour of her native Liberties in Dublin.
She is also co-organiser of an annual conference on the burning of the Custom House in 1921.
Admission to the event is free and the hosts at Muckross House say it should be a very insightful and interesting event.
It is the first of three Spring talks hosted by the Muckross House research library which will examine the many shades of green that developed following the Easter Rising.
