Irish Examiner view: Mnásome history

Minister for Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport, and Media Catherine Martin launched Maá100 website.

The launch of the Mná100 website, an online resource highlighting the role of women in the revolutionary period, is another important step in the ongoing work of restoring the overlooked contribution of women to Irish history.

The initiative was launched by Catherine Martin, the culture minister, for the final phase of the Decade of Centenaries and is a timely reminder of how persistently women have been written out of the story of the formation of the State.
