'Why not a Woman?' WHAI Symposium November 2008
'Why not a Woman?' was a campaign slogan used in the 1970s to support women running for election. In November 2008 the Women's History Association of Ireland held an afternoon symposium in Boston College in Dublin with some of the foremost political figures of the second wave feminist movement in Ireland. Women from both inside and outside the political system participate in the event in an effort to offer a broad spectrum of women's experiance of breaking into national politics. Speakers at this event included Monica Barnes, Mary Cullen, Síle de Valera, Nuala Fennell, Kathleen Lynch TD and Nora Owen.
