Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Where did it all begin, the struggle of these ten women for Irish freedom? What made them support the Rising in 1916? The answer lies in their childhoods. A skating accident, a Fenian nanny, the loss of a parent, poverty, tales of the Famine, a close friendship, and a sense of exile - such were the early experiences that formed them and made them what they were: brave, adventurous and ready to risk their lives!
