Summary:

"Thirty-three inspiring speeches by women of Ireland from the nineteenth century to the present. Rallying cries for trade union action, denunciations of apartheid, calls for independence, unionism, peace and gender equality: Irish women have eloquently expressed their demands across the island of Ireland and from platforms in America to podiums at the United Nations. This is the first publication dedicated to Irish women's speeches, showcasing the stirring contributions that Irish women have made both to modern Irish society and to global development. Each speech includes a detailed introduction explaining the context, the importance and impact of the speech as well as a biographical background of the orator"--Back cover.
