R. Renn writes to Hanna Sheehy Skeeffington (1877-1946) in 1916. Renn writes on the
back of an old flyer regarding buying and selling tickets for the concert.
Hanna Sheehy Skeffington (1877-1946) suffragette, nationalist, language teacher,
was the founder of the Irish Women’s Franchise League and a founding member of the
Irish Women Workers’ Union. She was the widow of Francis Sheehy-Skeffington who was
summarily executed on 26 April 1916. She was active during the Rising, bringing food
to the Volunteers in the G.P.O. and the College of Surgeons. Four days passed before
she found out what had happened to her husband, Francis (1878-1916), and it wasn't
until almost two weeks later that the full details of his execution emerged.
