Mollie Carberry is a suffragette! Well, sort of. Mollie and her best friend Nora have been bravely fighting for women’s rights – even though no one else really knows about it. But when they hear a big protest is being planned, they know they have to take part.
If only they didn’t have to worry about Nora’s terrible cousin, her awful brother and her neighbour’s very annoying dog …
An engaging story about a strong and intelligent girl fighting for the right for women to vote.
WHEN DID IRISH WOMEN GET THE VOTE?
The Representation of the People Act 1918 became law on 6 February 1918. It gave the vote to virtually all men over 21, and women over 30 who met certain requirements. In November 1918 an act was passed which enabled women to stand for parliament in the forthcoming elections.
The only woman to win a seat in parliament across England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales in December 1918 was Constance Markievicz, who was elected by the people of south Dublin but who did not take her seat. In 1922, the new Irish Free State gave the vote to all women over 21, finally giving Irish women the same voting rights as Irish men.

This sequel to The Making of Mollie takes Anna Carey’s charming young suffragette heroine, Mollie Carbery, into the summer months of 1912. Like its predecessor, the book is written through letters to Mollie’s friend Frances, who is now on holiday in America—something the Carberys could never afford. Mollie’s frustration at not being able to travel further than Skerries, quickly pales with the prospect of Prime Minister Asquith’s visit to Dublin, when there will surely be some momentous suffragette activity. Molly’s ruminations in her letters to her friend Frances are full of lively dialogue as she retells the details of her days… it’s a pleasure to read about those extraordinary historical events through Mollie’s eyes
