Ancient Celtic warrior-queens! An early Christian saint/goddess (Brighid)! And an Elizabethan-era pirate-queen! Also discuss Maria Edgeworth, who slightly predates Jane Austen. Wrap up with modern women such as poet Nuala Ní Dhomhnaill and novelist Clare Keegan, whose "Foster" became the Oscar-nominated "The Quiet Girl." In the mid-March Brighid session, give a nod to St. Patrick, since both are now official Irish patron saints.
