Madam, – I am a young historian doing a research project at the University of Vienna titled “Cumann na mBan in the Provisional Republican Movement 1969-1986”.
As far as I know most of the printed material is in private hands. I would like to ask readers who have any material about Cumann na mBan from this time period to please get in contact with me.
The role of Cumann na mBan during this period is sadly missing in the history books of the so-called “Troubles”. This research project aims to throw light on the role of these republican women and give them their deserved place in history.
I can be contacted by e-mail on dieter.reinisch@gmx.net or by post (address below). – Yours, etc,
