My ancestor — the inspirational Cork suffragette

AS a child, my grandmother often spoke proudly of her aunt, Laura Geraldine Lennox, who had been a prominent suffragette in her native Cork and in London.

'A Handful of Women' written and produced by Cork native, Ann Dalton, transports the listener back to Ireland in the early 1900s through the protagonist Great Gran Peg as she takes us inside her memory box and back to her childhood.
“Our feisty character, May Dorney was inspired by the article I read in the Holly Bough in 2018 based on one of our Cork suffragists, Laura Geraldine Lennox," said Ann.
A Handful of Women runs from Thursday, February 6 to Saturday, February 8 at 7.30pm on RTÉ Jnr Digital Radio.
