Description

Leaving the Ladies by Sinéad McCoole recounts a pivotal moment in history: a secret meeting of women delegates to the All Ireland Conference, held in December 1917. Against the backdrop of the final stage of agitation for the "Votes for Women" campaign, this event marked a crucial turning point in the fight for suffrage.

The meeting took place in the bathroom beside the Round Room in Mansion House, a location that has become synonymous with the struggle for women's rights. McCoole's account provides a unique insight into the lives and experiences of these pioneering women, shedding light on their determination and resilience in the face of adversity.
