While Irish Nationalists were battling for Home Rule and the affairs of the land league, Irish women were also battling for - the basic right to vote.
Smashing Times brings to life the Irish women of the 1900s who were active and militant suffragettes. It is a unique and enthralling account of how these women fought for women’s rights, particularly the right to vote, how they set about obtaining their objectives, how they were viewed by the Irish public, priests, and politicians and their historic achievements.
Rosemary Cullen Owens has written the engrossing story of how Irish women broke through massive obstacles and achieved the vote by 1918.
