Items related to Dublin's Lost Heroines
Based on interviews conducted during annual visits to Dublin extending over thirty years, acclaimed oral historian Kearns presents a unique picture of women's lives in the old Dublin slums in a masterly work of reminiscence, celebration and dignity. The book tells of how they lived, the difficulties they faced, poverty, unemployment, the fecklessness of their men folk and their heroic struggle to maintain the basic decencies of human life in inhuman conditions.
