Have you watched the 1996 biopic "Michael Collins"? If not, you might enjoy it as it chronicles his involvement during the Irish Civil War. It doesn't hurt that Liam Neeson plays Micheal Collins. ;-) Kaye Spencerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13530735658588595790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8927727476793944291.post-81588328532871378862019-03-06T15:52:59.432-06:002019-03-06T15:52:59.432-06:00Sarah, what a wonderful research blog of an amazin...Sarah, what a wonderful research blog of an amazing woman I confess I'd never heard of until now.

I still wonder what her husband thought about her work, the danger she put herself into, and the forays into prison. I also wonder about their daughter. Who took care of her. What did she think of her mother's work? So many unansweredSarah J.

I hope you formulate a plot for the book you have rolling around in your head. I believe it would very interesting to read it. I discovered some other surprising facts in my research--like how the first slaves were not black as I thought; they were Irish slaves who were sent to Barbados by the English and auctioned off.

She was a remarkable woman. I've read quite a bit about her and the other figures involved in the ill-fated Easter Rebellion. It was a unique and fascinating time where poets, women's rights advocates, and visionaries came together. Women in great numbers fought alongside men which given the time was astounding.
