Teatime Talks: 'Margaret Skinnider: A lifelong activist, teacher and feminist' by Dr Mary McAuliffe

14 Henrietta Street presents Teatime Talks a series of talks inspired by the history and people of 14 Henrietta Street. In this talk Dr. Mary McAuliffe discusses the life of Margaret Skinnider. In later life Skinnider worked as a teacher at the King’s Inn Street School opposite Henrietta Street until 1961. She taught many of the children who lived in 14 Henrietta Street, including Ann Connolly, who lived on the first floor. Margaret Skinnider enters and exits the history books as the female rebel who was wounded commanding a military action in the 1916 Rising. Coming of age among the Irish diaspora in a Glasgow where militancy in socialism, feminism and Irish nationalism were inspirational ideologies, Skinnider was a suffragette, trade union activist, socialist, and militant Irish nationalist. Arriving in Dublin in 1916 and brimming with commitment to the causes that had suffused her childhood and adolescence, Skinnider would go on to give much service to her adopted country, Ireland. During the next five decades of her life, she remained an active feminist, trade union activist (with the INTO) and Irish republican. The talk will also consider her, until now, more hidden history, her committed relationship with her lifelong partner, fellow Cumann na mBan member and feminist activist, Nóra O’Keeffe. Mary McAuliffe is an historian, and Assistant Professor/ Lecturer in Gender Studies at UCD, specialising in Irish women's gender history. Her new book Margaret Skinnider, was published earlier this year. By listening and engaging with visitors, historians, experts, local people, former tenement residents and their families, we continue to uncover, record and respond to the 300 year story of 14 Henrietta Street. We protect, share and add to the cultural life of the city. We tell stories, make connections and uncover history. 14 Henrietta Street is a social history museum of Dublin life, from one building’s Georgian beginnings to its tenement times. We connect the history of urban life over 300 years to the stories of the people who called this place home. In intimate small-group tours, we bring to life the stories of the humans who passed through the house, their changing circumstances, their experience of family life, of politics, and the impact of world affairs. By listening and talking with visitors, historians, local residents and their families and through the knowledge of others, the museum continues to discover new stories, gathering memories and adding to the museum’s collection and visitor experience.
