Maud Gonne

Irish revolutionary and activist (1866-1953)

Maud Gonne MacBride (21 December 1866 – 27 April 1953) was an English-born Irish republican revolutionary, suffragette, writer, and actress. Of Anglo-Irish descent, she was won over to Irish nationalism by the plight of people evicted in the Land Wars. She actively agitated for Home Rule and then for the republic declared in 1916. During the 1930s, as a founding member of the Social Credit Party, she promoted the distributive programme of C. H. Douglas. Gonne was well known for being the muse and long-time love interest of Irish poet W. B. Yeats.
