       On 13 June 1912 Hanna Sheehy Skeffington and a group of suffragettes smashed windows in Dublin Castle to highlight the cause of women’s right to vote. It was an offence for which she would spent a month in prison.#Ireland #IrishHistory #HannaSheehySkeffington #Dublin #Suffragettes #WomensRights #OnThisDay

       I think there is somewhat charming, and possibly quite Irish, to put a plaque up to somebody who smashed windows. Could you see the English doing the same? Happy to be proved wrong.

       @bullivant Well there is this plaque, a poignant reminder of the ultimate sacrifice made by a woman of principle, erected in the British Parliament by a man of principle.https://www.parliament.uk/about/living-heritage/transformingsociety/electionsvoting/womenvote/case-studies-women-parliament/ewd/tony-benn-plaque/#:~:text=c1991-,Transcript
