Stamps to honour Irish suffrage movement

AN Post has released two stamps themed around women’s rights to celebrate the centenary of International Women’s Day.

In co-ordination with the National Women’s Council of Ireland (NWCI), An Post created two stamps and a series of specially commissioned postcards to celebrate the event, which takes place on March 8.

The stamps were designed by renowned Irish designer Ger Garland, to celebrate International Women’s Day and the founding of the Irish Women’s Suffrage Federation by Louie Bennett in 1911.
