Some public history engagement on a challenging subject (with a nod to Derry Girls!) @LJMUImpact @ljmu @LJMUhistory

[Prof. Gillian O'Brien @gillianmobrien]

Unlike the habit, the story of nuns and convents in Ireland is not black and white. It’s far more complex than that. https://t.co/Y4jLIZBWnl #research #convents #Ireland #womenshistory #irishhistory #nuntastic

It's 1918, and correspondents from the New York Sun report on the Suffragette "reign of terror" in Britain. According to Lord Cecil, their militancy was a "modified form of anarchy"
