Eavan Boland: "Arlen House has one of the finest histories of any publishing house I know."
Arlen House is Ireland's oldest feminist press, celebrating 50 years of publishing high quality literature with expertise in equality and diversity.
Many people say they admire Arlen House, its books, its bravery, its independent feminist ethos, & that they'd like to help progress our vision & help our work continue.
Well, now you can ...
Nessa O'Mahony & Eavan Casey have created a fundraiser "50 for 50: Supporting Arlen House for its 50th birthday" with multiple options.

Thank you for any & all support. Please spread the word.

Mary Cullen, happy 96th birthday, legendary feminist activist, educator, thinker, doer, writer who has inspired many generations (pictured with sister legend, Catherine Rose).
Arlen House proudly publishes "Telling It Our Way: Essays in Gender History" & "Girls Don't Do Honours: Irish Women in Education in the 19th & 20th Centuries"

Support the brilliant Arlen House if you can for their 50th anniversary. Alan Hayes is one of the hardest working people I know. He is passionate about producing beautiful books and without any funding from the Arts Council of Ireland, which is a crying shame. ❤️

Good story by @bostoncatholic archivist Violet Hurst in @TheBostonPilot about Katherine Conway, acclaimed poet, essayist + the first woman editor of the Pilot in 1905. Katherine was a trustee of the @BPLBoston and in 1907 received the distinguished Laetare Medal from @NotreDame. thebostonpilot.com/opinion/a… @AssociatesBPL @dleonard @burnslibrary @MAWomensHistory @BostonWomen @IWWNetwork

In 1921, Elizabeth Boyle O'Reilly of #CharlestownMA, published an extraordinary 600 page travel book, 'How France Built Its Cathedrals,' hailed as a masterpiece. Her earlier travel book in 1910, 'Heroic Spain,' was also acclaimed . She was the daughter of #BostonIrish hero John Boyle O'Reilly, poet + editor. irishboston.blogspot.com/202…
