Age of Revolutions, and the twentieth-century Irish Revolution. A panel discussion and Q&A session
will draw out continuities and discontinuities and allow critical connections to be made. ‘Women in
Revolution’ is presented in connection with ‘States of Independence: Ireland and the American
Revolution 250 Years Later’, a curated collection to be released on the Virtual Record Treasury of
Ireland in June 2026. All are welcome and attendance is free, but registration is essential.
