Summary: Hayes-McCoy describes the tolerant, egalitarian, democratic, and feminist vision that drove Republican women like Marion Stokes, Constance Markievicz, and Hanna Sheehy Skeffington. Yet, she writes, “I grew up in a state with a constitution that declared the proper aspiration of women to be marriage, our proper function to be childbearers, and our proper sphere the home. … That, in turn, produced levels of misogyny, emotional sterility and civic immaturity still evident in Ireland today.”
