The Michael Davitt Museum continues its series of talks on women in Irish History with a lecture on Marguerite Moore.
Marguerite Moore was a Ladies’ Land League Activist, Leading Feminist, Labour Reformer and Irish Nationalist.
Marguerite Moore emigrated to New York in 1884, where she became known as a
leading feminist, labour reformer and Irish Nationalist. Moore linked her campaigning
for women’s rights to her activities earlier in her life in the Ladies’ Land League –
which had led to her imprisonment in Tullamore prison for three months. During the
revolutionary era, she provided a direct link between the Ladies’ Land League and
the new generation of Cumann na mBan members in the United States.
Dr Fiona White is programme chair and a lecturer on the History and Geography
programme at ATU Mayo, where she teaches history, literature and archaeology
modules. Her main research interests are the big house and landed estates and Irish
women’s history. She has written a number of book chapters and journal articles on
these topics.
