First Edition, first printing. 12pp. Laminated printed light card covers. Light chipping to bottom edge. Internally neat, clean, bright and tight. 8vo. Presents the stories of the incredible lives of more than a dozen Irish women of prominence or fame. While women in modern Western society have spent the last century fighting for equal rights, women in ancient Ireland were accorded legal equality with men. Under the Brehon Laws women had the right to own property, rule territories, seek an education, and sue for divorce. Celtic women were also warriors, frequently taking up arms and marching into battle with their brothers and husbands.
