Jump To Comment: 1The Guardian neglects to mention the role of agitation and change
brought about by the rebel women, who were , of course not allowed
to perform politically or sit around the table.
So they took their objections to the streets.

The Irish Governement on March 16th 2006, held a military parade
to commemorate 1916. There was no official recognition of the
revolutionary changes in thought and politics, nor reference
to the strength and unity of the women's political movements,
which provoked those changes.
The men sat at the table, negotiating on behalf of a Nation.
Little has changed.
Read about the Rebel Women also.
Inghinide Na hEireann.
Cumann Na Mban.
Gonne, Markievicz, Gifford, Moloney, Skeffington.
Their groups rejected the Treaty outright. The Countess was the first woman , elected to Westminister.
