Inghinidhe na hÉireann

Inghinidhe na hÉireann

Inghinidhe na hÉireann (English: Daughters of Ireland), abbreviated InaÉ, was a revolutionary women’s society founded by Maud Gonne on Easter Sunday 1900.

Gonne was elected President of the association; Vice-Presidents were Alice Furlong, Jenny Wyse Power, Annie Egan and Anna Johnston (Ethna Carbery). Among the founders were Sinéad O'Flanagan (later wife of Éamon de Valera), the actors Máire Quinn and Sara Allgood, Doctor Kathleen Lynn and Mary Macken, a leading member of the Catholic Women's Suffrage League.[1]

In July 1900, it organised a treat for 30,000 schoolchildren as a counter-attraction to the official celebration of a royal visit to Ireland by Queen Victoria.[2]

In 1908 Inghinidhe na hÉireann launched a monthly magazine, Bean na hÉireann, which was edited by Helena Moloney.

In May 1914, Inghinidhe na hÉireann merged with the newly formed Cumann na mBan.[3]
