Celebrating Women - 17 March 2004

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Today I thought I'd celebrate Irish women, with some ancient Irish women in mythology and early history, a nice women's studies/Irish studies bibliography, the website for last year's Women in Irish Society Project exhibition at NUI Cork (part of their Irish Women's Movement Project), a tip o' the hat to Irish women writers, and a salute to Women on Waves and their ongoing struggle for freedom of choice in a land where women have to travel out of the country to have abortions. Update: Via Melanie Mattson, according to a historian St. Pat himself apparently thought very highly of women.
