At a time when women were viewed as second-class citizens in the eyes of the law, she stepped boldly into the public spotlight, founding the Irish Women's Franchise League--a pioneering voting right organization--in 1908, as well as taking a strong public stance against World War I and serving as an executive in the leftwing political party Sinn F in. Her later years saw her mount a campaign as an Irish parliamentary candidate and confront powerful figures such as Winston Churchill and Woodrow Wilson in her fight for social justice. This substantially revised and updated edition of Margaret Ward's biography of Skeffington sheds new light on the fascinating life of a pivotal figure in the feminist, labor, and nationalist movements in Ireland. Incorporating new archival research and featuring an array of freshly discovered images, Ward's book also illuminates rarely-seen corners of Skeffington's life outside the public eye, exploring both her relationship with her husband and her role as a single parent. With social and political issues such as voting rights, gender equality, and the progressive fight for justice as vital as ever, this revised edition of \u003ci\u003eFearless Woman \u003c\/i\u003ecould hardly be timelier.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Margaret Ward\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1910820407\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781910820407\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University College Dublin Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/19\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 400\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.89lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.10w x 1.20d","brand":"Margaret Ward","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43978780737791,"sku":"9781910820407","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_634953cb-6856-439b-b868-e96df736322b.jpg?v=1683242996","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/fearless-woman-margaret-ward-9781910820407","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
