2nd Annual Countess Markievicz School
Published: Thursday, April 19, 2012
The second annual Countess Markievicz School will take place on 12th May 2012 in The Teachers Club, Parnell Square, Dublin. The Annual Markievicz Lecture will discuss First Wave Feminism. This year the School proposes to explore the position of women in Ireland regarding the Constitution. Were the suffragettes such as Markievicz who fought for equality in 1916 let down in 1937? How are women's lives affected today, particularly in regard to the costly burden of childcare? The status of women and their activism will be explored on the day. We invite you to join us for some lively debate to engage with the issues. A Q & A session will follow each panel discussion.
