Talking History with Patrick Geoghegan · Eva Gore-Booth · 25 Jun 2026 podcast

How much of a part of her life was her writing of poetry? voice-verified

And why do you think that is? voice-verified

Mary, I wonder, is one of the things the fact that Eva was just ahead of her time or not quite in sync with her time? voice-verified

There are some people we discuss on the show and they were very much of their time and they had the views of that period. voice-verified

Whereas Eva was kind of a visionary whose views didn't quite chime with the majority of voice-verified

At that time, but certainly in the 21st century and 100 years on from her death, everything that she stood for, you know, certainly resonates with us today and speaks to us today. voice-verified

Catherine, she had very interesting views on marriage as well and the challenges faced by married women. voice-verified

What about her opposition to the First World War and the strong stance she took there? voice-verified

Was that her bravest political stance? voice-verified

I wonder, Sonia, did that lead to tensions with her sister Constance, given that Constance wasn't a pacifist and, you know, was supportive and involved in the 1916 rising and perhaps had a different view about the war, given the support they were receiving from Germany? voice-verified

And you've published a complete edition of her political writings. voice-verified

And I wonder, when you look at the writings, is there a consistency there throughout it all? voice-verified

Or are there times when you see an evolution or thinking or a change or a shift? voice-verified

Do we know what the rest of her family thought of her and her activities? voice-verified

Because I'm sure maybe the parents or the brothers or some relations might have been tearing their hair out that you won her. voice-verified

One sister who's involved in the 1916 Rising and then the other who's a radical thinker and engaged in the pacifist movement and in workers' rights and also in their mind causing a lot of trouble. voice-verified

She knew how to play the game with the family members as well. voice-verified

Mary, I wonder, would you consider Eva a nationalist or did she have a broader vision that was centred on justice, equality, peace and all of these other issues? voice-verified

OK, well, tonight we are talking about the life and legacy of Eva Gore Booth. voice-verified

We're going to take a quick break now. voice-verified
