Micheline’s Three Conditions: How We Fought Gender Inequality at Galway’s University and Won

by Rose Foley and Micheline Sheehy Skeffington

Micheline will give a short talk and both authors will answer questions and sign books.

The book provides a gripping account of the campaign by Micheline to fight gender discrimination in the university after she was repeatedly passed over for promotion. She won her case, and then donated the settlement to help 5 other female members of staff who had similarly not been promoted to take their own case.
