Kathleen Clarke was an Irish political activist and the wife of Tom Clarke, one of the leaders of the 1916 Easter Rising. Here is her firsthand account of growing up in a family dedicated to the fight for Irish independence. This eventually led to her direct involvement in the most exciting and important period of modern Irish history -- the years leading up to the Easter Rising and after, her husband's execution, her imprisonment in England, the Civil War -- through the early days of the Irish Republic and active roles as a member of the Dail and Senate and as Lord Mayor of Dublin.
