The Mna100 Centenary Podcast will take an in-depth look at some of the women who helped shape Ireland’s history. Dr Sinead McCoole, an Irish historian with expertise in the history of Irish women from 1880 to the present day will be looking at the years 1912 - 1923, as Ireland continues this Decade of Centenaries.


Episode one will focus on the events of May of 1921 when 8 women were elected in Ireland, in parliament both north and south of a newly formed border.

As we try to get a sense of who these women were, what information can be found? Helping in the search we will speak to Librarians, Archivists, Curators, Historians, and Education & Outreach Officers, at Ireland’s National Cultural Institutions, who have gathered key documents, artifacts, and their personal belongings. What will they find and will they help us connect the past to the present?

  • Mná 100 Episode Four; Seeking Peace

    Mná 100 Episode Four; Seeking Peace
    May 30 2022

    This podcast examines events of 100 years ago and women’s participation in seeking peace - from chairing the Peace Committee meetings in May to delegations organised in June and July 1922 as hostilities in the Civil War escalated. It explores the historic background to those delegations, profiling some of the participants. Maud Gonne MacBride organised delegations. Hanna Sheehy Skeffington, Charlotte Despard and Rosamond Jacob of the Irishwomen’s International League participated. It also explores the League’s links to the wider peace movement of that time, such as the role of Jane Addams and the organisation of the Women’s International League for Peace and Freedom.

    By looking at these historic events through a wider lens, Mná 100 also reflects on some of the achievements and personal experiences of the podcast participants. The podcast features three women; the first female President of Ireland and Chair of The Elders, Mary Robinson; Áine Hearns, Director of the Conflict Resolution Unit at the Department of Foreign Affairs; and Maria Butler, Deputy Secretary General of the Women’s International League of Peace and Freedom, who in May 2022 has just been appointed as Executive Director of the Nobel Women’s Initiative.
