Markievicz: A Most Outrageous Rebel

Lindie Naughton

4.9/5 (30949 ratings)

Description:Countess Constance Markievicz was a revolutionary, a socialist, and a feminist, as well as an artist and writer. A natural leader, 'Madame', as she was known to thousands of Dubliners, took an active part in the 1916 Rising and was one of the few leaders to escape execution. Instead, she spent an arduous year in an English prison, surrounded by murderers, prostitutes, and thieves. Later, during another stretch in prison, she made history as the first woman elected to the House of Commons. Lindie Naughton's compelling biography sheds light on all facets of Markievicz's life-her privileged upbringing in County Sligo, her adventures as an art student in London and Paris, her marriage to an improbable Polish count, her political education, her several prison stretches, and her emergence as one of the pivotal figures in early 20th-century Ireland. Constance Markievicz, a woman with a huge heart, battled all her adult life to establish an Irish republic based on cooperation and equality for all. Her message is as relevant today as it was a century ago. [Subject: Irish Studies, History, Biography, Gender Studies]We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
