We talked about some interesting elements of her timeline. As we learn more about Ní Ghráda, look for these characteristics:
Finally, she doesn't so much defy expectations of her times as just march right past them. Very much a career woman, who raised two sons. Writing a play about the injustice of the treatment, by her community, of a young unwed mother -- when she herself is in her late 60s. Hired to put together children's programs on the radio, she becomes the first woman in the British Isles to be the lead announcer of a national radio service.
There is a list of works in the front of the script, and it doesn't begin to cover her educational works.
Had you heard of this writer before we started the play? There's one well-known book from her educational works that isn't mentioned in the list of her works.
If you can't guess what book I'm talking about, put your cursor here: |
