    Niall McAuley And from Library Towers catalogue, and other libraries in the States, Mrs Margaret E. Hickey wrote letters from New York, and specifically Brooklyn.
  • Niall McAuley said:
    I think her perm looks 1930s?
  • Carol Maddock said:
    Margaret signs off this letter to Joseph McGarrity as writing from
    2177 Bedford Avenue (is that Brooklyn?)
    and from
    Irish Progressive League
    229 Lex[ington] Ave[nue]

    That letter is from the digital library at Villanova University. Beautiful clear handwriting. Margaret was obviously well acquainted with Hanna Sheehy-Skeffington.

    I could be convinced that the writing at the bottom, which is presumably where the Julia Bradshaw title comes from, also says Los Angeles

    On Kathleen O'Brennan, the dib.ie says In 1918/19, she undertook a lecture tour in the USA, speaking on Sinn Féin, the place of women in the Irish republic, and Feis Ceoil.
  • Niall McAuley said:
    From Wikipedia:
    According to research by historian Catherine M Burns, O'Brennan arrived in America in October 1914 and stayed there for longer than expected due to the difficulty of transatlantic travel during the First World War. Working as a journalist and lecturer, O'Brennan traveled to California and Oregon and spoke to women's organisations as an authority on the Gaelic league and Irish art and culture.

    Her lectures included details she got from her sisters and photos of Éamonn Ceannt and his son, Rónán.

    ... She became involved in the IWW through Dr Marie Equi, with whom she had a romantic relationship. When Equi was arrested, O'Brennan worked to see her released and continued to agitate until her own arrest in 1919 during the Red Scare....

    O'Brennan founded the Women's Irish Education League in San Francisco in May 1919.
