The annals of time are replete with tales of daring voyages, courageous revolutionaries, incredible discoveries, valiant nationalists, and advancements in science. While a large percentage of these renowned narratives and triumphs feature men, we can’t neglect the women. Didn’t they embark on grand explorations? Weren’t they bold insurgents? Weren’t they instrumental in fostering scientific progress and societal evolution?
It’s an acknowledged fact that history’s narrative is penned by those who prevail, which traditionally has been men. This often results in the overlook of the significant roles played by women in Irish history, including their adventurous expeditions to far-off lands.
During this 1.5-hour journey, we will honor and delve into the lives and episodes of some such women. Embark on an exploration of their remarkable lives and accomplishments as you traverse through the beauiful city of Dublin.
