- Title
Constance Markievicz. An emotional and political life.
- Authors
KONARSKI, Wawrzyniec
- Abstract
Constance Markievicz [in Polish Markiewicz] became a living legend in the fight for the independence of Ireland already in her life. However, to be confined to such observations is insufficient. She repeatedly demonstrated a personal courage up to now far exceeding the boundaries normally reserved for members of her sex. Constance mixed a radical anti-British republicanism with her equally left-wing politics, as does not only a fighter for Irish freedom, but an outright follower of deep social transformation. This only emphasized the distance between her and her aristocratic, Anglo-Irish descent. In contrast to the participants of the movement for Irish independence, she was equally distinguished also in her family and emotional ties with Poland, and more exactly with a Pole, Kazimierz (Casimir) Dunin-Markiewicz. All this only augments the interest in the natural, emotional and political life of Constance Markievicz.
