[quote]The Countess Markievicz

Constance Gore-Booth was born on the 4th of February, 1868 in Buckingham Gate, London. Her father was Sir Henry Gore-Booth, an explorer and philanthropist. She spent most of her early life on her family’s estate at Lissadell, County Sligo. It was here that she first learned to care for the poor irish common folk. In 1893 she went to London to study art in the Slade School, and in 1898 she went to the Julian School in Paris, also to study art. It was here that she met Count Casimir Markievicz. His wife was very ill and she died in 1899. He married Constance on the 29th of September, 1901. In 1903 the couple moved to Dublin, and were at the centre of many social groups. In 1906 Constance rented a cottage in the Dublin Mountains. It was here that she read copies of The Peasant and Sinn Féin. Upon reading these books, Constance found her purpose in life.

In 1908 Constance began her career in politics, joining Inghinde na hEireann. She stood for election in Manchester, but was beaten by her opponent, Winston Churchill, due to people’s views on women at the time. She founded a group called Fianna Eireann in 1909, which was like boy scouts but also taught military drills and how to use firearms. In 1911 she was jailed for the first time for her part in a protest against George V’s visit to Ireland. During the 1913 Union Worker Lockout she supported the union leaders James Connolly and Jim Larkin, and she also ran a soup kitchen for the locked-out workers.

On April 24th, 1916, the revolution began. Unlike most women, who served as messengers and nurses, Constance was in the thick of the fighting. She was the second in command at Stephen’s Green under Michael Mallin and oversaw the construction of barricades. It was during the fighting, seeing the faith and conviction of the men around her, that she first considered conversion to Catholicism. Mallin, Markievicz and their men held out for 6 days before receiving Pearse’s surrender order, and the officer who accepted their surrender turned out to be a distant cousin of Constance. He offered her a lift to Dublin castle in his jeep, but she declined, choosing to walk through the streets with her men.

After surrendering, Mallin, Markievicz and their men were brought to Dublin Castle, and from there Constance was taken to Kilmainham Gaol and put in solitary confinement. From her cell she heard three volleys of shots, each followed by a single pistol shot, signaling the death of a revolution leader. She expected to be executed, and was fully prepared for it, but when she was sentenced to death it was transmuted to life imprisonment because she was a woman. She was released from prison a year later in the 1917 General Amnesty.

After being released, Constance kept a promise to herself and converted to Catholicism. She was jailed again during in 1918 during the bogus “German Plot”, which was an attempt by the British to defeat Irish anti-conscription supporters. While she was imprisoned, Constance became the first woman elected to the British Parliament, but she didn’t take her seat as shse refused to swear the oath of loyalty to the king. She was also appointed First Minister of Labour during the first Dáil Eireann meeting. She strongly opposed the Treaty, and called its supporters traitors. Michael Collins responded by calling her something which cut much deeper: English.

When the Civil War broke out, Constance was involved in the fighting again at first, but later went to America to raise funds. She regained her seat in the Dáil after the war, but her views put her at odds with the other members and she was jailed again soon after. She went on hunger strike with 92 other women and was released by De Valera after a month. In 1926 she joined Fianna Fáil and in 1927 she was elected as a candidate. However, a month later she died of an illness in a public ward at Sir Partick Dunn’s Hospital. Over three hundred thousand people attended her funeral in the Republican plot of Glasnevin Cemetary, and at the graveside De Valera gave the eulogy.
