The Road to the Vote Part 5 by UCC98.3FM published on 2017-03-29T08:53:10Z Programme 5 charts the role of women in the nationalist struggle from 1916 to 1918. The conflicting claims of ‘the women’s question’ and the ‘nationalist question’ will be explored along with a discussion on organizations such as Cumann na mBan, The Irish Citizen Army, Women and Sinn Féin. The opposition to female political candidates such as Kathleen Clarke and Winnie Carney will be assessed, as well as the barriers faced by women in their quest to achieve suffrage in 1918.
