The Autobiography of Maud Gonne: A Servant of the Queen

Maud Gonne is part of Irish history: her founding of the Daughters of Ireland, in 1900, was the key that effectively opened the door of twentieth-century politics to Irish women. Still remembered in Ireland for the inspiring public speeches she made on behalf of the suffering — those evicted from their homes in western Ireland, the Treason-Felony prisoners on the Isle of Wright, indeed all those whom she saw as victims of imperialism — she is known, too, within and outside Ireland as the woman W. B. Yeats loved and celebrated in his poems.
