Dr Laura Cahillane speaks at Maynooth Centenaries Event

Last Friday Dr Laura Cahillane participated in a seminar organised by Maynooth University’s Sexuality and Gender Network as part of their decade of centenaries programme.

The event was titled Free for Whom: a multidisciplinary symposium on gender, sexuality and the Irish Free State 1922-1937.

Dr Cahillane spoke about the early promise of increased rights for women during this period as well as the milestones which restricted rather than furthered rights for women.
