Last September the children of Ireland nominated their heroines as part of the @RTEjr Who’s Your Heroine? project and we were delighted to see them look to the women in their families and communities for inspiration. ❤️✨
We also have a list of books for adults! If you're curious to discover more about extraordinary Irish women, we have a selection of books listed on our website to give you some ideas... and we're always looking for more suggestions!

As well as historic and contemporary bios on our website, we also have a lot of old Irish myths. The mythic biographies are from Bard Mythologies, master storytellers and keepers of ancient Irish wisdom. They make for good bedtime stories!
