It's launch day for 'Her Keys to the City'. I'm fizzing with excitement and so privileged to have been involved in a project that honours 80 of the women who made Dublin the city is it today. Some snippets:
Dr Kathleen Lynn slept in the open air on a balcony for most of the year as she expounded the virtues of fresh air.

Agnes Bernelle sent coded messages to the Resistance during WWll. She later settled in Dublin and helped to set up the Project Arts Theatre. Her granddaughter @sweetvisage writes about her beautifully.

Thank you @jakimccarick:
the-tls.co.uk/articles/hanna… Lady Harriet Kavanagh (1800-85) artist & one of the first Irish women to travel to Egypt (with children in tow) where she negotiated with Bedouin chiefs. When her 3rd son was born with no limbs, she ensured he lived a normal life and taught him to write using a brush in his mouth
