Back in the limelight - the two suffragette playwrights who once shared centre stage in Ireland

AS A postgraduate research student, I wish to appeal to any of your readers who may have information on Cork playwrights Geraldine Cummins (1890-1968) and Susanne Day (b.1890).

These women were suffragettes with the Cork branch of the Munster Women's Franchise League (MWFL) and Susanne Day was one of the first women to be elected as a guardian on a Poor Law board - overseeing the management of the local workhouse.

Cummins was a daughter of Prof Ashley Cummins, MD (St Patrick's Place, Cork) and Day's father, Robert, was a city magistrate.
