A Must for Anyone Interested in This Amazing Woman's Life, November 19, 2002
This review is from: Prison Letters of Countess Markievicz (Paperback)
Constance Markievicz is possibly the most complex, enigmatic and forgotten figures of twentieth-century Ireland. Born to a privileged Anglo-Irish family in Co. Sligo, Constance turned from her life of grand ballrooms, and cozy salons, to become one of the leaders of both the Irish Labour and Irish Republican movements. These letters written in her own hand to her sister Eva Gore-Booth during several stints in English prisons provide an unprecedented look into the personality and inner most thoughts of this remarkable woman. Though hard to find, getting your hands on this remarkable collection is worth the trouble. The more you learn of Constance, the more you will fall in love with her.
