Episode Synopsis

In this episode of the Smashing Times Arts and Human Rights radio show, presenter Mary Moynihan shines a spotlight on the courageous women of the 1916 Easter Rising. A writer, poet, and multidisciplinary artist with a deep interest in historical memory, Mary shares the life stories of Countess de Markievicz, Eva Gore-Booth, Margaret Skinnider, and Dr Kathleen Lynn — all trailblazers in the fight for equality, justice, and Irish freedom. The show features scenes from the short film Courageous Women and includes arts and culture updates, from Berlin art cuts to Blindboy podcast picks, a creative boost from The War of Art, and a celebratory nod to Rory McIlroy’s Masters win.Recorded at Dublin South FM.https://smashingtimes.ie/https://www.dublinsouthfm.ie/ Hosted on Acast.
