Sinn Fein Women: Footnoted Foot Soldiers and Women of No Importance Released!

Sinn Fein Women is here!

It is my hope that this book will give a voice to these women and place the "sinn fein" woman in the global context of Irish history. I hope that this inspires future research on the power of women in peace and reconciliation as well as the individual contributions to it. 

Special thanks to Mary Lou McDonald, Eibhlin Glenholmes, Martina Anderson, Caitriona Ruane, and Ruairi O Bradaigh for graciously giving interviews for the book.

Belfast photographer Kelly Morris contributed amazing portraits of the interviewees and the wonderful cover photo of a child overlooking Belfast, Northern Ireland. Please check out her work too!

Please check out the book, available through ABC-CLIO and online bookstores!
