The Autobiography of Maud Gonne: A Servant of the Queen
Maud Gonne is part of Irish history: her founding of the Daughters of Ireland, in 1900, was the key that effectively opened the door of twentieth-century politics to Irish women. Still remembered in Ireland for the inspiring public speeches she made on behalf of the suffering--those evicted from their homes in western Ireland, the Treason-Felony prisoners on the Isle of Wright, indeed all those whom she saw as victims of imperialism--she is known, too, within and outside Ireland as the woman W. B. Yeats loved and celebrated in his poems.

A book by a lady decades ahead of her time
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
Maude Gonne is the beauty that inspired the verse of Yeats. She lead a fascinating life, and lived through some fascinating times. In this book, written late in her life, she tells of all her adventures, her struggles, and her times. A woman who would be contemporary today, never mind 70 years ago!
