Visited the Museum of Literature Ireland (MoLI) yesterday. It's only been open for 6 and a half weeks. My favorite exhibit was the one on Kate O'Brien--an outspoken feminist during her time (mid 19th-century) who kept persisting and writing and traveling even though her books kept getting banned in Ireland. She's my new favorite author even though I haven't read any of her books yet. There was also an exhibit on YA authors in Ireland, many of whom are women also unafraid to speak their minds and write about topics such as domestic abuse and eating disorders. (Deidra Sullivan and Claire Hennessey.) I came to Ireland expecting to be inspired by the likes of Joyce and Yeats (which I was) but I'm leaving with a list of both older and contemporary female Irish authors to fill my head and bookshelves with. "We spoke with different voices. But when she was telling me her story her words became my words," Kate Cruise O'Brien. #museumofliteratureireland #MoLI #dublin #irishfemaleauthors #womenwhowrite #KateOBrien #DublinMFA19 #whorunstheworld #irishwriters #deidrasullivan #feministauthor #irishwomenwriters #thelonggazeback
