DANCING IN THE WIND NOTEBOOK DAY 37: Maud Gonne Biography for Children

There is a new online biography of Maud Gonne for children, created by Sophie Harkin for Lottie.com.

Unfortunately, a few of the details are wrong — Maud founded “L'Irelande Libre” in the 1890s, not 1910s, and she never won a Nobel peace prize (that went to her son, Seán, for his work in co-founding Amnesty International). But it is a great compilation of her political work, and great to see her recognized in her own right for her own work, rather than just as muse to the great poet.
