Women of 1916
In 2016 the students of Griffith College designed costumes to reflect biographical details of women who played an integral part in the 1916 Rising. We studied seven of these and matched the costumes to the participants-
Elizabeth O’Farrell, Countess Markiewitz, Rosie Hackett, Margaret Skinnider, Nora Connolly O’Brien, Jenny Wyse Power, Mary Spring Rice.
