Dorothy Macardle

Description:

Mainly remembered for The Irish Republic and her close association with Eamon de Valera, Dorothy Macardle (1889-1958) was one of the most popular and influential Irish historians of her time. She was also a journalist, playwright, novelist, and political activist. This first biography of Macardle traces her life from her involvement in the War of Independence to her role as a leading civil libertarian in the 1950s, and discusses her literary career and international human rights work. An Irish nationalist writer with an international reputation, Dorothy Macardle was a woman of many facets, and her career sheds light on modern Irish political history, interwar-era women's history, and Irish historiography and literature. -- Publisher description
