"Eva Gore Booth and Esther Roper lived together for most of their adult lives. They were activists together and wrote and worked alongside each other.
"They are buried together in a single grave under a quotation from Sappho."

107 years ago #OnThisDay a small group of men and women struck a blow for #Irish freedom. They set a conflict in train that resulted in a measure of independence for #Ireland. The country is not perfect, but it is certainly one we are proud of
The most brutal thing about the Irish Free State's refusal of a proper pension to Thomas Bryan's widow is that they did not properly investigate her claim that he had been at the terrible fight around Clanwilliam House, Mount Street, in the 1916 Easter Rising, and refused her a 1916-connected pension. Here he is listed in the Active Service Unit involved in that fight https://www.militaryarchives.ie/collections/online-collections/bureau-of-military-history-1913-1921/reels/bmh/BMH.WS0127.pdf#page=14 #ThomasBryan #Executed1921 #WarOfIndependence #1916Rising
