Description

Hanna Sheehy-Skeffington's article about the Women's Movement in Ireland appeared in the Irish Review in July 1912, on the eve of her imprisonment following a demonstration of the Irish Women’s Franchise League in June 1912. As Maria Luddy documents, during the demonstrations some windows in government buildings were broken and Hanna Sheehy-Skeffington and other women were imprisoned for a month and from prison they lobbied for political status (DIB). The article in the Review documents the work of Irish women’s movements, and attacks stereotypical view of women as passive and subservient to men and advocates for women’s active participation in the public sphere.

Richard Joseph Long’s painting ‘Reflections’ reproduced in the July 1912 issue of the Irish Review was exhibited at the Oireachtas Art Exhibition in 1911 along with another of his works 'Edge of the Wood'. According to Ann Stewart, Long also exhibited at the Royal Hibernian Academy in 1914 with a portrait of Samuel Anderson, Esq., L.D.S., Galway and ‘Reflections’. At this time his address was 1 High Street Galway.
