EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful print captures the fearless spirit of Countess Markievicz, a prominent Sinn Fein leader during the tumultuous times of 1916. Born Constance Gore-Booth to an aristocratic family, she defied societal norms by marrying a Polish count and immersing herself in the fight for Irish independence. In this image, Countess Markievicz exudes strength and determination as she stands captured in Dublin after being involved in the Easter Week uprising. Her role as a key figure in the Irish Citizen Army is evident through her defiant gaze and unwavering stance. Despite facing a court martial and receiving a death sentence that was later commuted to life imprisonment, Countess Markievicz remained resolute in her beliefs. She was eventually released in a general amnesty in 1917, only to make history as the first woman elected to British parliament in 1918 - although she chose not to take her seat. This portrait serves as a poignant reminder of Countess Markievicz's revolutionary spirit, highlighting her pivotal role as a militant rebel who fought tirelessly for Ireland's freedom. Her legacy continues to inspire generations of women around the world to stand up for their beliefs and strive for equality.
