    Clodagh Finn: Meet the Cork woman who drove Eisenhower through the Second World War (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Positive tone · English

    Read excerpt

    There’s a moment in Pressure, the tense drama on the fraught run-up to D-Day, when Kay Summersby (Kerry Condon) gives a kind of potted CV of her wartime activities to meteorologist Group Captain James Stagg (Andrew Scott). She tells him she drove an ambulance during the London Blitz and saw bodies lined up in a cinema-turned-morgue. She then describes herself as secretary, driver and aide to Dwight D Eisenhower, the Supreme Allied Commander of the Allied Forces who is trying to get an accurate w

    Clodagh Finn: Deirdre Kelly, the environmental campaigner who inspired a generation (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    It is impossible to shoehorn the sum of a person into an obituary yet I love the format — still one of the most-read in newspapers — because it gives us an insight into what a life, well-lived, looks like. That thought struck me with new force this week when reading the many tributes to Frank McDonald, the “campaigning journalist [who] changed how we think about urban planning”, to quote a line from the obituary in his own paper, the Irish Times.

    Clodagh Finn: The remarkable story of Grace Gifford, the artist who kept going — and skating (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Positive tone · English

    Read excerpt

    I went to see Grace Gifford during the week. At least, that is what it felt like because William Orpen’s portrait, newly acquired by the National Gallery of Ireland, is so vivid it is almost like meeting the woman herself. Her bright eyes catch you off guard. Then there is that smile: it’s sweet and a little wicked. What has happened? Come on, tell all. You have reached your article limit. Already a subscriber?

    Clodagh Finn:Â The Irish flappers who gave bishops sleepless nights by embracing jazz and fashion (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Irish flappers? I didn’t think such a combination of words was even possible. Didn’t the Roaring Twenties pass Ireland by? The country was just coming out of a bitter civil war, but that was the least of it. In the 1920s, bishops, north and south, stood sentinel against the moral dangers of the jazz-dancing, cigarette-smoking, short-dress-wearing modern woman. You have reached your article limit.

    Clodagh Finn: A window into life of an Afghan woman who set up a secret school for girls and now lives in hiding (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Three days ago, Roshana Dadgar, a woman from Afghanistan living in hiding in Pakistan, looked in the mirror and saw that her hair was turning white. There were black bags under her eyes and she noticed that her nails were falling out. Sleep, if it comes at all, is light and fleeting, haunted by an unending carousel of questions: “What if I am deported? What if I go to Afghanistan and get imprisoned like my husband? What if I’m killed? Who will take care of my family? What will happen to my paren
