The names of men like Pearse, Connolly, Collins and Barry still resonate today as heroes who won independence for Ireland. However, the critical role of women in this fight for freedom has often been overlooked. Renegades examines the part played by women in the major political and social revolutions that took place from 1900- 1922. It explores the growing separation of republican women into two distinct groups, those active on the military side in Cumann na mBan and those involved on the political side, particularly with Sinn F駟n. It also looks at the often ignored 'war on women', which manifested itself in the form of physical and sexual assaults by both sides during the War of Independence, and the fury of female republicans as the political establishment accepted the Anglo-Irish Treaty. In this evocative account, Renegades restores the women of the republican movement to the prominent place they deserve in Irish history.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ann Matthews\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1856356841\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781856356848\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Mercier Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/02\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 416\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.95lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.40h x 5.20w x 1.30d","brand":"Ann Matthews","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44129639858431,"sku":"9781856356848","price":23.09,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_149f610f-b0b4-4dd7-b559-8fe74cf3ca1d.jpg?v=1687465000","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/renegades-ann-matthews-9781856356848","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
