Es gibt viel zu sagen
über Frauen in Irland
bzw. Frauen und Irland.
Ein spannendes
Thema allemal, gibt es
doch zahlreiche Frauenfiguren in der irischen Geschichte,
die es lohnen, während eines Studienaufenthaltes näher betrachtet,
studiert zu werden. Finden Sie deshalb im Folgenden
– als kleinen Appetizer quasi – kleine Auszüge aus einer
ganzen Liste von nahezu hundert Kurzbiographien
(ebenfalls auf Englisch) über wichtige Frauen aus Irland
oder solche, die mit der Insel in direktem/engen Zusammenhang
stehen. Aus allen Bereichen – Literatur, Politik,
Geschichte, Gesellschaft. Von der „Piratenkönigin“
Gráinne Ní Mháille alias Granuaile über die Mitbegründerin
des Abbey Theatres und wichtige Figur der literarischen
irischen Renaissance, Lady Augusta Gregory, bis
hin zur ersten weiblichen Präsidentin des Landes, Mary

Bernadette Devlin McAliskey was born in 1947 in
Cookstown, Co. Tyrone, and educated in Dungannon and
at Queen’s University, Belfast where she became involved in
65
socialist and republican movements. She took part in the
Northern Ireland Civil Rights Association (NICRA) marches
in 1968 and 1969. A founder member of People’s
Democracy, she was elected to Westminster for Mid-Ulster
in 1969 at 22, the youngest woman ever elected to the
House of Commons. In the same year she published a
volume of autobiography, The Price of My Soul, and …

Maud Gonne McBride (1866-1953) was born in
England. Her mother died when she was young and she
accompanied her father, a British army officer to Ireland.
He died when she was twenty and she became financially
independent at twenty-one. Maud was a tall and fine
looking young woman with leadership qualities and a deep
devotion to nationalism and to social justice. She assisted
tenants threatened with eviction in Donegal where she
nursed the sick, raised funds and gained publicity for the
tenants. Unable to join cultural and political organisations
as a woman in Dublin, she founded Inghínidhe na hÉireann
in 1900 and wrote many articles for Bean na hÉireann, the
journal of the association. The impetus of Inghínidhe na
hÉireann led to the foundation of a professional theatre
group which later developed into the Abbey Theatre. The
poet and playwright W. B. Yeats who publicly professed his
love for Maud Gonne, wrote plays for the new
theatrical movement and was …

Kate O’Brien (1897-1974) from Limerick
was sent to a convent boarding school at the
age of six after her mother died. She
graduated from UCD, worked as a journalist in
England and as a governess in Spain before
achieving fame with her novel Without My
Cloak (1931). She wrote several other novels,
dramatised three of them and That Lady
(1946) was made into a film. She also wrote travel books
and a biography of St Teresa of Avila (1951). Both Land of
Spices (1941) and Presentation Parlour (1963) incorporate
her youthful experience of nuns, convent boarding school
life and education in Ireland in the early twentieth century.
