Who's Your Herstory Heroine?

Tell us who's inspired you 

It's time to rewrite history, and the future. This February a new 6-part TV documentary series Herstory: Ireland's EPIC Women will explore the lives and achievements of 6 women who's role is history has been often overlooked. The series begins on Monday, 3rd February at 8:30pm on RTÉ One. EPIC is proud to partner with RTÉ, Herstory Ireland, the Broadcasting Authority of Ireland to bring these stories of Ireland's greatest female trailblazers to Irish screens.

To celebrate this partnership, our temporary exhibition Blazing a Trail: Lives and Legacies of Irish Diaspora Women returns this January - March 2020.  The exhibition 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. The exhibition is a collaboration between EPIC, Herstory and the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade.

We recently invited people to share their heroine with us, and now we want to hear from you! As a modern museum that chronicles the personal experiences of Irish emigrants and their descendants, we're devoted to helping share these stories, and will share the best ones across our web and social channels, and consider them for inclusion in our museum.
