1749-1937. Violence Ridicule and Silence. An inter-institutional exhibition plotting Irish women's road to the vote in 1918.

In this centenary year the Library of Trinity College Dublin is delighted to have contributed to the work of the Houses of the Oireachtas Vótáil 100 programme, in curating this exhibition, in collaboration with several sister institutions.
