IN THE FOOTSTEPS OF ANNE
Srories of republican women ex-prisoners.

This book is the most comprehensive archive of republican women ex-prisoners stories anywhere in the world.the title of the book was chosen by the late Eileen Hickey as a tribute to the Irish patriot Anne Devlin,who endured torture and imprisonment for her republican beliefs in Kilmainham gaol,1803.
It has taken ten years to compile and contains 142 stories from individual ex-prisioners spanning more than three decades from 1967 to 2003.they redress the fact that women have largely been written of this period in history,these remarkable stories have never been told before,
The stories reflect the privations and trauma,emotional and physical that many of these women suffered during their time in prison.
Told from the heart with candid recall-these experiences are burned into the memories of women who were in many cases mere teenagers when they were imprisioned.
Hopefully these stories will give the reader an insight into prison life and the historical and political background of that time,these stories are factual accounts of how the war on the outside had a direct impact on the prisoners lives from internment,the struggles for political status,to protests and resistance.
Their fortitude and collective spirit is described when they kidnapped the prison govenor and three of his wardens...."The women barricaded the stairs and confined themselves to B3 wing.The govenor and screws were locked in a cell.That night the authorities turned of the electric and water supply.as we all sat around the caytwalk on mattresses the OC,Eileen Hickey,gave the order for silence.we were listening for any movement from the wing below,an indicationthat the British army were preparing to move in on us",
As prisoners of war these women challenged and tested the prison regime,went on no wash protest,hunger strikes and planned escapes,They continued to contribute to the republican cause and forged friendships and bonds that are still robust and supportive to this day.
Their aim was to achieve a 32 county socialist republic.in the words of their Gaeilge teacher Seasn Ó Baoighill,"Sí Éire mo thír"(Ireland is my country)..BOOK LAUNCH...15 Dec 6.30 p.m Conway Mill...
