Elizabeth O'Farrell

Elizabeth O'Farrell walked through heavy fire on Moore Street with a white flag, forcing the guns to pause so she could deliver the surrender terms that ended the Easter Rising. She stood beside Patrick Pearse when he faced General Lowe, yet later copies of the famous photograph erased her feet entirely. The woman who carried ammunition hidden in her skirt and tended James Connolly was removed from the picture before the world even remembered her name.
