Mary Cullen, happy 96th birthday, legendary feminist activist, educator, thinker, doer, writer who has inspired many generations (pictured with sister legend, Catherine Rose). Arlen House proudly publishes "Telling It Our Way: Essays in Gender History" & "Girls Don't Do Honours: Irish Women in Education in the 19th & 20th Centuries" @Linda__Connolly @Womenof1916 @sinead_mccoole @GrainneBlair @goggshealy @GayeGcunningham

Support the brilliant Arlen House if you can for their 50th anniversary. Alan Hayes is one of the hardest working people I know. He is passionate about producing beautiful books and without any funding from the Arts Council of Ireland, which is a crying shame. ❤️

More details to follow in October ... Thanks to the Arts Council of Northern Ireland for supporting new Irish literature for the world.
