Appearances
Dr Catherine Healy is historian in residence at EPIC, the Irish Emigration Museum, and is an expert on the social history of ordinary Irish people, particularly women and migrants.

And Eva has featured in two wonderful EPIC travelling exhibitions, Out in the World and Blazing a Trail.
voice-verified
Well, you're all very welcome.
voice-verified
And Sonia, I might begin with you and I might begin with the question about why it has taken so long for Eva to get the attention and the recognition that she deserves.
voice-verified
And do you think there's also maybe a dimension that the areas that she campaigned for, workers' rights, for suffrage, these are areas that perhaps didn't capture the imagination for later generations the way the revolutionaries struggled it?
voice-verified
Mary, where do you think Eva Gorbooth fits into the wider history of Irish feminism?
voice-verified
Because she really was part of one of the most significant generations of early Irish feminists.
voice-verified
And the way she connected political rights with wider social change, it really was quite radical.
voice-verified
Sonia, also a question about the mystic element to her life, because it's something that people used to describe, a word that people used to describe her from an early age was this sensitivity.
voice-verified
She had an interest in the mystical and even in later years believed that she had the psychic connection with her sister Constance when she was in prison.
voice-verified
She travelled a lot in her early life and I don't think her health was great, but she had these opportunities to travel around and I think that probably had a big impact on her worldview as well.
voice-verified
Catherine, tell us about Esther Roper and tell us about how she ends up in Manchester then, because this begins a quite remarkable phase of her career.
voice-verified
And very impressive campaigning for the rights of barmaids and for women working in the mines and, you know, really quite significant activism here.
voice-verified
I wonder how the women viewed her because she must have seen somewhat exotic this wealthy, somewhat aristocratic Irish woman coming over and taking such an interest in their plight and their campaigns.
voice-verified
Mary, do you think that may be part of the challenge with looking at Eva is the fact that she was engaged in so many different areas.
voice-verified
She was a poet.
voice-verified
She was an activist.
voice-verified
She was involved with opposing the First World War.
voice-verified
She was a part of the suffrage movement.
voice-verified
She was campaigning for workers' rights.
