This documentary from Oireachtas TV focuses on the story of Irish women’s struggle for equality and representation in the political sphere, told through first-hand testimony from the women involved. In Our Own Words was produced in 2018 as part of the Vótáil100 commemorations.
International Women's Day
Vótáil100 - the centenary of votes for women

Notable debates
Women on juries, 5 March 1924
“In this country the number of women who desire to serve on juries is very small, and in practice the insertion of women's names in the Jury Book leads to nothing but trouble.”
– Kevin O'Higgins
Notable debates
Equal franchise, 2 March 1922
“I have a vote myself now to send men and women to the Dáil, and I wish to have that privilege extended to the young women of Ireland, whom I count in every way as my superiors.”
– Countess de Markievicz
