Dorothy Macardle

A short biography of Dorothy Macardle, who is best known as the author of The Irish Republic (1937), the first history of the revolutionary period from an anti-Treaty perspective. Often seen as a mouthpiece for amon de Valera's policies, this biography reveals the cracks in their alliance. The often-fractious nature of their relationship allows an understanding of the position of women within a patriarchal nationalist culture and the manner in which they had to negotiate connections to the male political establishment. This succinct biography reveals a determined, intelligent, and independently minded woman.
