- Summary:
- "Mary MacSwiney was one of the most single-minded anti-Treaty women, leading Eamon de Valera to describe her as "incorrigible." Rather than dismiss MacSwiney as one-dimensional in her opposition to the Treaty and in her continued political intractability, this biography places her story at the center of the narrative to understand why she was increasingly viewed as a virago"--Page 4 of cover.
