EPIC The Irish Emigration Museum is proud to collaborate with the Herstory 20/20 project for a series of special events to highlight the role women have played in history - one that has often been overlooked. Places are limited, so book now to avoid disappointment.
Blazing a Trail Exhibition
Jan - Mar 2020, FREE Admission
Blazing a Trail: Lives and Legacies of Irish Diaspora Women celebrates the lives and legacies of 21 pioneering Irish diaspora women of the 19th and 20th centuries who blazed a trail in a wide range of fields. These women made their mark across the globe, innovating in every field and paving the way for others to follow, navigating a male-dominated society on their own terms.
The exhibition is a collaboration between EPIC, Herstory and the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade.
