Margaret Mulvihill has written a biography of Charlotte Despard (1844-1939), the woman who, with Mrs Pankhurst and Mrs Fawcett, was one of the three widow-leaders of the Votes for Women movement. She was a friend of Keir Hardie, a parliamentary candidate in 1918 and Maud Gonne's companion in her IRA safehouse. She was simultaneously a Theosophist and a Catholic, a pacifist and a revolutionary, a philanthropist and a socialist, as well as being a feminist, a Republican and a popular novelist. Margaret Mulvihill has also written two novels, "Natural Selection" and "Low Overheads".
