From the archives The Guardian UK carries regular extracts from its archival editions. Todays is on the 1921 Anglo-Irish conference. But when people - Mr. De Valera is, we fear, one of them - talk about Englishmen being "foreigners" and about England as a foreign nation, politeness alone prevents us from telling them that in our opinion they talk nonsense. |

Jump To Comment: 1The Guardian neglects to mention the role of agitation and change
brought about by the rebel women, who were , of course not allowed
to perform politically or sit around the table.
So they took their objections to the streets.

The Irish Governement on March 16th 2006, held a military parade
to commemorate 1916. There was no official recognition of the
revolutionary changes in thought and politics, nor reference
to the strength and unity of the women's political movements,
which provoked those changes.
The men sat at the table, negotiating on behalf of a Nation.
Little has changed.
Read about the Rebel Women also.
Inghinide Na hEireann.
Cumann Na Mban.
Gonne, Markievicz, Gifford, Moloney, Skeffington.
Their groups rejected the Treaty outright. The Countess was the first woman , elected to Westminister.
