Interesting Short Biographies of Some Irish Women of Note

Some biographies were of more interest than others, but that's fine as these were short introductory accounts. Now it's on me to pursue information on those Biographies that caught my attention. Narration was fine.

I learned a lot from this Book.

I absolutely love Irish history, in fact my family might say I am obsessed with it.
I had heard of many of the women in this book, but not all of them.
This really was interesting and diverse group of women, all having one thing in common, they are Irish.
I really enjoyed the book and the narration.
Just under 4 1/2 hours, it is a very easy listen in one day.
Each of the stories is rather short, under 15 minutes and the four narrators also make this book an enjoyable listen.
