Summary "Women of 'Ninety-Eight" by Mrs. Thomas Concannon is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This work explores the pivotal role of women during the Irish Rebellion of 1798, highlighting their sacrifices, bravery, and influence in the fight for Irish freedom. It delves into the historical contributions of mothers, wives, sisters, and other women, presenting a rich tapestry of their stories alongside those of notable male figures of the time. The opening of the book sets a somber yet evocative tone, paying tribute to the women who suffered and died for the cause of Irish liberty. It introduces poignant anecdotes about various women, illustrating their emotional and physical sacrifices during the turbulent period. For instance, it recounts the stories of women like Anne Devlin, who faced brutality at the hands of the oppressors, and draws attention to the bravery of those who fought alongside men in battle, likening some to “Irish Joan of Arcs.” Additionally, the author reflects on how these women provided emotional support to the patriots, acted as messengers, preserved the memory of the fallen, and played significant roles in the broader narrative of Ireland’s quest for independence. Overall, the opening portrays the profound impact of women's resilience and strength in shaping Irish history. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
