• Helena_Moloney abstract "Helena Molony (15 January 1883 – 28 January 1967) was a prominent Irish republican, feminist and labour activist. She fought in the 1916 Easter Rising and later became the second woman president of the Irish Trade Union Congress.Helena Molony was born at 8 Coles Lane (http://bridge-it.tchpc.tcd.ie/items/show/25), off Henry Street in the centre of Dublin. Her father was Michael Molony, and her mother Catherine McGrath; they ran a grocery. In 1903, inspired by a pro-nationalist speech given by Maud Gonne, Helena Molony joined Inghinidhe na hÉireann (Daughters of Ireland) and began a lifelong commitment to the republican cause. In 1908 she became the editor of the organisation's monthly newspaper, Bean na hÉireann (Woman of Ireland). "Bean na hÉireann brought together a nationalist group; Constance Markiewicz designed the title page, and wrote the gardening column; John Brennan wrote for the paper and was on its production team; contributors included Eva Gore Booth, Susan Mitchell, and Katherine Tynan, as well as PH Pearse, Thomas MacDonagh, AE, Roger Casement, Arthur Griffith and James Stephens. The paper included an eclectic selection of articles - fashion notes (involving Irish materials and Irish-made clothes), a labour column, cookery, politics, fiction, poetry… Its readership was both male and female.Molony was central to the school meals activism of the movement; with Maud Gonne MacBride, Marie Perolz and others, she organised the supply of daily school meals to children in impoverished areas, and pressured Dublin Corporation and other bodies to provide proper meals (meat and vegetables, and on Fridays rice and milk) to the starved children of Dublin city. Molony also had a career as an actress, and was a member of the Abbey Theater. However her primary commitment was to her political work. She was a strong political influence, credited with bringing many into the movement, including Constance Markiewicz and Dr Kathleen Lynn, who wrote: ‘We used to have long talks and she converted me to the national movement. She was a very clever and attractive girl with a tremendous power of making friends.’As a labor activist, Molony was a close colleague of James Connolly (whose secretary she was for a time), and of Countess Markievicz. In November 1915 Connolly appointed her secretary of the Irish Women Workers' Union, in succession to Delia Larkin. This union had been formed during the strike at Jacob's Biscuit Factory that was part of the 1913 Lockout. Molony managed the union's shirt factory in Liberty Hall, founded to give employment to the strikers put out of work and blacklisted after the strike. "Not one of them is a penny the better for her part in either fight [the 1916 Rising, where all served, and the strike at Jacob's]," wrote Molony in her statement to the Bureau of Military History. "In such a manner is the real aristocracy of a country born." She was friendly with the family of Thomas MacDonagh and his wife, Muriel, and was the godmother of their daughter Barbara, whose godfather was PH Pearse; describing Liberty Hall, where Connolly spent much of his time, she wrote: "Connolly, after hours, could be free for private visitors… Pearse called many times, also Joe Plunkett and Tom MacDonagh. These men were all intimate friends of mine, so it seemed quite natural for me to encourage them to buy socks and ties from us."In the same account, Molony describes leafletting O'Connell Street - then, on the GPO side, only frequented by British soldiers and their mots: "Misses Elizabeth O'Farrell and Sighle Grennan and myself were spotted by police. We took to our heels, and were chased through Henry Street, Mary Street and right up to the Markets in Capel Street. We got away clear, as we were young and swift, and the police were hampered by long heavy overcoats. On the whole we feared more the soldiers with their canes."Fianna Éireann, the cadet body of the Irish Volunteers, was founded by Constance Markiewicz in Molony's home at 34 Lower Camden Street, Dublin, on August 16, 1909.".
