Meg Connery was a leading figure in the Irish militant suffragette movement of the early twentieth century, and was prominent in driving the campaign for voting rights for Irish women.

A contributor to The Irish Citizien newspaper, one of the most iconic images of the revolutionary period shows her confronting Andrew Bonar Law and Edward Carson with Votes For Women materials on the steps of Dublin’s Iveagh House.

This year, a headstone to Connery was unveiled in Mount Jerome Cemetery. In this exploration of her life and influence, historian Margaret Ward and Mícheál Casey of the Meg Connery Commemoration Committee will explore her life and the importance of the Suffragette movement in Ireland more broadly.
