Unit content explained


The unit provides a brief introduction to the life of Constance Markievicz. It is illustrated by a timeline.

Constance's life is then developed in more detail. Extracts from her journals and her prison letters are provided to illustrate her point of view. Photographs from her life provide further evidence of her story. Her contemporaries are quoted to establish a different viewpoint.
