"I want the Young Ireland women to remember from me.
Regard yourselves as Irish, believe in yourselves as Irish, as units of a nation distinct from England………..and as determined to maintain your distinctiveness and gain your deliverance.
Arm yourselves with weapons to fight your nations cause.
Arm your souls with noble and free ideas.
Arm your minds with the histories and memories of your country and her martyrs, her language and a knowledge of her arts, and her industries..."
Constance Markievicz
