We are a collection of scholars and feminist citizens seeking to gather and share Irish women's stories to capture a fuller history of our experiences. Join us...
Our Mission
Our mission is to ensure that the memories of Irish women from the 1930s onwards are heard and are recorded and kept as a part of Irish history and the histories of Irish people travelling out and across the world.
“I found Stephanie a very good and sympathetic interviewer, and it was a pleasure talking to her”
“Thanks very much for this. It was so interesting for me to hear myself as the interviewee (I’m usually on the other side asking the questions!) and there were some surprises in there for me - you never know where the old stream of consciousness will take you! I hope the interview is as interesting and useful for you.
