Part 2 of our podcast which examines the voter numbers behind the 1922 general election following the signing of the treaty by Michael Collins.
In part 1, we found out Michael Collins along with Arthur Griffith conspired to deny women the vote because they knew that women, especially young women, were ardent Republicans. The GE result would give Collins the mandate he felt he needed to go to war. Why were women denied the franchise?The numbers talk for themselves Follow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/awomansplaceire and Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/awomansplaceireland and Tik Tok https://www.tiktok.com/@awomansplaceireSOURCES Rosemary Cullen Owens Smashing Times: A History Of the Irish Suffrage Movement 1889-1922Shannon Area History Group - Ordinary women in extraordinary timeshttps://www.oireachtas.ie/en/debates/debate/dail/1922-03-02/23/THOMAS MOHR -THE RIGHTS OF WOMEN UNDER THE CONSTITUTION OF THE IRISH FREE STATE -https://www.jstor.org/stable/44026835https://www.irishtimes.com/culture/heritage/was-1918-a-false-dawn-for-irish-women-1.3705917 -

Here's a bit of history they don't teach you in school folks: the majority of women were denied the franchise in 1922. We posit that this exclusion at a fundamental moment of our state meant that the Treaty side swept the 1922 General Election.
What we have come to uncover is that Michael Collins along with Arthur Griffith conspired to deny women the vote because they knew that women, especially young women, were ardent Republicans.
The GE result would give Collins the mandate he felt he needed to go to war.
Listen as we recount the moment that led up to this, frankly treasonous act, by the pro-treaty side which would eventually lead to a theocratic male-dominant patriarchy denying women the right to abortion, to work and imprisionment in the home.

In episode 28 of A Woman's Place, Christina reads you a critical essay on the formula that makes up disaster. Looking at the 2010 earthquake in Haiti and contributing vulnerabilities of the society and how economic inequality plays a major role in creating 'disaster'. She discusses disaster as an outcome rather than an event and outlines lessons learned that we can apply to our own communities and personal lives.
In the wake of the IPCC report on Climate Change, if we are to avert disasters today and in the future, we first need to understand how they are created.

We chatted about the emergence of neoliberalism and why it's hard to define. We go through a basic overview of the ideology and how it affects out lives-socially and economically- and it's emergence under Thatcher & Reagan aka Season 2 of The Crown
We talk about how globalism and neoliberalism is colonialism rebranded.
We think it's especially important that everyone knows these terms and why everything costs an arm and a leg so that we can confidently talk and strategise against it.

In this episode, we talk about the founding of American "democracy", Irish partition and how supremacists states stack the deck against groups seen as neither fully a citizen nor human. In America it was black people, in Ireland it was Catholics.
We give an overview of Gerrymandering and how it works, keeping minority governments in power even when their opponents have more votes!

In episode 24 of a Woman's Place Podcast, we get into the vanishing of women's pockets and the relationship between a lack of pockets in women's clothing and control. The ability to conceal something on your person can be said to be directly related to the level of freedom you enjoy.
Practices are employed by authorities that often restrict this ability- most notably through things like 'stop and frisk' in America which allows the police to search people whenever they please. In this episode, we talk about how authorities banned the use of pockets for women because of the fear of what they might be concealing, how that led to the handbag and then to the eventual performative pockets we see today on women's clothing.
Join us as we take a look at the timeline of women's fashion to see where it all went wrong.

This episode is a very special Halloween/Samhain special to wrap up the series on witches!
We are talking about Faeries in Irish society! We didn't really have witches here in Ireland but we did have those pesky faeries. Find out about this long standing Irish mythology, who the faeries were and listen as we talk about death, superstition and things our mothers (maybe) have done at funerals.
Happy Samhain/Halloween to all our listeners and thank you for listening. Find us on our social media

Ok girlies, we're really spoiling you this week. I have been pondering this notion in my head after salivating over The Vampire Diaries' Damon Salvatore for a solid 4 weeks and before that it was Che Guevara (Today, my love is Hasan Piker, but that's another episode) and I couldn't quite put my finger on why they are so goddamn sexy until finally I did this voicenote to tease it out!
And babes, it's about more than control. I talk about male sexuality, male sexual agency and the power that MEN don't seem to think that they have over themselves.
Have a listen!
Also, please don't share this with my Mother. Thanks xoxo

Back in...sometime this year? Tina did an hour with WWW on Dublin Digital Radio. Here is the first of her appearances with the show detailing songs of revolution and protest from Portugal, Australia, South America, Ireland and more. There are wonderful feminist anthems including "The Pill" and "El violador en tu camino" and songs in Portuguese, Spanish and English.
Some of these might surprise you to learn the background of. It's a seriously fun hour with a history lesson to boot
Enjoy!

In the 19th episode of A Woman's Place we discuss how Women/Witches are to blame for the misfortunes of mankind, especially disease. We take you back to the Black Death in Europe in 1346 and document how one of the most traumatic events in European history led to the witch hunts just two centuries later.
Sorcha talks you through some of the Religious elements, including the two popes that kept excommunicating each other, as well as painting the picture of what the environment was like between the periods of the Black Death in the 1300s and witch hunting in the 1500s.

In this latest episode of A Woman's Place we talk about WHY Irish women chose to 'go into the covent' and become nuns. What were the power dynamics of these structures, what were the conditions of their lives which influenced their decision.
We also touch on the notion of 'purity' and why Irish people's identity, especially womanhood, became intrinsically linked with cleanliness and containment.
Our isolationist past politically, is also related to the isolation of the female within the home and the isolation of ourselves as humans from emotion.
This is a great conversation for ideas with a sprinkle of history!

In this week's episode we look at the history of religious orders in Ireland and how it came about that Religious Orders had so much power in Irish society.
We barely scratched the surface of this conversation but this is the first part of a series on the nuns in Ireland. We start off with Catholic Emancipation, through to De Valera and then onto the work in Reformation schools.
It gets a little choppy at the end because this conversation is so dense. We hope you get some new understanding about Religious Orders here in Ireland.

We talk about how other celebrities are subject to this same treatment, how to get one and we discuss the injustice of this practise which is used to control people with 'mental health' issues and more commonly, people with disabilities.

In this episode we are back after another hiatus (it's been humid ok?) and we're following up our Violence and Technology episode (13) with a discussion on AI and what surveillance systems are being used for.
Is it to protect you? Or just to control you through surveillance?
And why are the US mad at Tik Tok???

In Episode 14 we are discussing technology and taking you ALL the way back to the invention of papyrus. We detail out how each new discovery has both lead to a burst of creativity but also of destruction and subjugation.
We talk about sails, the radio, the printing press, the stirrup and of course, the internet and how the world has gotten more violent, not less.
We're putting a call out for technology to be democratised and the people who are affected most (the users) to get to decide how it's used.
As always, send us a DM on Instagram or Twitter if you want us to discuss anything in particular. Requests welcome!
