This podcast examines events of 100 years ago and womenâs participation in seeking peace - from chairing the Peace Committee meetings in May to delegations organised in June and July 1922 as hostilities in the Civil War escalated. It explores the historic background to those delegations, profiling some of the participants. Maud Gonne MacBride organised delegations. Hanna Sheehy Skeffington, Charlotte Despard and Rosamond Jacob of the Irishwomenâs International League participated. It also explores the Leagueâs links to the wider peace movement of that time, such as the role of Jane Addams and the organisation of the Womenâs International League for Peace and Freedom.
By looking at these historic events through a wider lens, MnĂĄ 100 also reflects on some of the achievements and personal experiences of the podcast participants. The podcast features three women; the first female President of Ireland and Chair of The Elders, Mary Robinson; Ăine Hearns, Director of the Conflict Resolution Unit at the Department of Foreign Affairs; and Maria Butler, Deputy Secretary General of the Womenâs International League of Peace and Freedom, who in May 2022 has just been appointed as Executive Director of the Nobel Womenâs Initiative.

To help us in our search, we will speak to Librarians, Archivists, Curators, Historians, and Education & Outreach Officers at Irelandâs National Cultural Institutions, who have gathered key documents, artefacts, and the personal belongings.
