SUMMARY:'Rebel Girls': Rosie Hackett and Elizabeth Gurley Flynn
DESCRIPTION:‘Rebel Girls’: Rosie Hackett and Elizabeth Gurley Flynn \nOn this Wednesday (28 May\, 8.30)\, the Irish Centre for the Histories of Labour & Class (ICHLC) presents two short talks in the Town Hall\, Galway\, under the title ‘Rebel Girls’: Rosie Hackett and Elizabeth Gurley Flynn. Speakers are James Curry (Moore Inst.) and Meredith Meagher (Univ. of Notre Dame). Tickets\, ‰âÂ3 (‰âÂ2 concession).  \nA new bridge over the Liffey has just been named after Rosie Hackett (1892-1960)\, a working class woman associated with the early labour movement in Dublin. Hackett was certainly remarkable\, an activist of the Irish Women Workers Union while still a teenager. Historian James Curry has thoroughly researched Hackett‰۪s life and he will give a full account of it. \nThe life of a contemporary of Hackett‰۪s\, Elizabeth Gurley Flynn (1890-1961) will be introduced by Meredith Meagher. Gurley Flynn\, whose radical career in the American labour movement also began while she was still a teenager was born in Boston\, the daughter of a Loughrea woman\, Ann Gurley. At 17\, she became a full-time organiser for the Industrial Workers of the World\, and she remained a political and social activist for the rest of her life. She died while visiting the USSR\, and was honoured there with a state funeral. Gurley Flynn took the title of her autobiography\, Rebel Girl\, from the title of a song written about her by her comrade\, Joe Hill. \nContact:   \nJohn Cunningham (ICHLC) \nSchool of Humanities (History) \nNUI Galway \nhttp://www.nuigalway.ie/history/cunningham/index.html
