In 1926 Cumann na mBan launched the Easter lily to raise funds for unemployed republicans. In 1976, Maire Drumm, a leading figure in northern republicanism, was assassinated. At the anniversaries of these two significant events, historians Dr. Margaret Ward and Dr. Susie Deedigan will consider women’s activism in the early decades of the twentieth century
