  • An Irishwoman's Diary Episode 2: ‘Vive la résistance' - Maureen O’Sullivan

    An Irishwoman's Diary Episode 2: ‘Vive la résistance' - Maureen O’Sullivan
    2025/12/26

    “A tough type of woman, at the moment growing quite a successful moustache... Not particularly intelligent, and does not seem [to] take her work very seriously”

    Despite this blistering account of her capabilities written by a training officer, Maureen O’Sullivan was one of the most successful Allied agents in the French Resistance, lasting seven months in the field compared to an average life expectancy of six weeks.

    Her fascinating life story has been uncovered in recent years and she’s been honoured in France.

    An Irishwoman's diary Episode 1: ‘Quiet piggy’ - Grizelda Steevens
    2025/12/23

    Calling women pigs has been a trope to bring down women throughout history.

    The famous ‘pig-faced woman’ of Dublin was a trailblazer – in the 1700s she set up Ireland’s first public hospital using an inheritance from her twin brother.

    Working with artisans, builders, doctors and notable figures in Dublin society, her work provided the first freely available medical treatment to the city’s poor.

    The hospital she founded is home to the HSE today.

    Manizha Khan Part 1: One woman’s escape from The Taliban
    2025/12/19
    “She's often referred to, it says Carmel Snow is the Irish Anna Winter who reshaped US fashion. And in fact it should be the other way around that Anna Winter is the Carmel Snow of her day. I was just rereading a little bit about Carmel Snow before I came on here. And just to throw you right into the world of high fashion in New York in the 1930s. And let's name drop for Ireland here. When she took over Harper's Bazaar in 1935, what she wanted to do was create a magazine for well-dressed women with well-dressed minds. And how she did that was she was the person, she gathered these writers, these art directors, these photographers together, and she was the one who discovered the likes of Dior, Givenchy, Balenciaga. She was the person who gave Cartier-Bresson, the famous French photographer, his first gig. Diane Vreeland was her fashion editor, the person who was her designer, designed for the Ballet Rouge. Truman Capote was one of her writers. Coco Chanel was a friend. Salvador Dali was a friend. I have to stop now because you'll actually think I'm making it up.”
