Louise Gavan Duffy

Louise Gavan Duffy died in Dublin in 1969 after founding Ireland's first Gaelscoil in 1917 and standing inside the General Post Office during the 1916 Easter Rising. She carried a French childhood, an Irish political birth and a women's suffrage fire into rooms where most people would have kept quiet. Her life sounds like a stove built from several different flames, yet every flame pointed upward.
