With the commemoration of the 1916 Rising this year, more and more information is being unveiled about the participation of women in the most celebrated rebellion in Irish history. In 2016, the women of New History are at the helm of potential revolution in a society of millenials suffering a case of permanent unrest. Will the events of Easter Monday 2016 mark their names in the history books for better or for worse?

300 women participated in the 1916 Rising in a variety of roles, but many of their contributions went unacknowledged for decades
