We are delighted to partner with RTÉ, Herstory Ireland, Underground Films and the Broadcasting Authority of Ireland to bring the stories of Ireland's greatest female trailblazers to Irish screens. The series is part of the Herstory 20/20 Project, which is an ambitious storytelling platform devoted to uncovering overlooked but fascinating women's stories from history, mythology and contemporary culture.

Blazing a Trail Exhibition

Blazing a Trail: Lives and Legacies of Irish Diaspora Women celebrates the lives and legacies of 21 pioneering Irish diaspora women of the 19th and 20th centuries who blazed a trail in a wide range of fields.  These women made their mark across the globe, innovating in every field and paving the way for others to follow, navigating a male-dominated society on their own terms.
