A mural (unfinished) by Mo Chara on the Falls Road, Belfast, at the old Linden Street, with a barefoot woman carrying a large Tricolour and a lark overhead. Probably based on the Women’s Day (“Frauen Tag”) poster shown below, from 1914. “Heraus mit dem Frauenwahlrecht” – “Forward with women’s suffrage”. German women were given the right to vote in 1918. (The image was also used in Toronto in 1982 for International Women’s Day.)

Here is the top half of a mural in Berwick Road/Paráid An Ardghleanna. The board at the top reproduces a 1972 postcard entitled Easter with two women – on the left a young woman (Ireland in flames, perhaps suggesting the Rising) and on the right, an old woman (Mother Ireland?) – watching over a prisoner by the light from a prison window. (Image #39 in Belinda Loftus’s 1982 dissertation Images In Conflict.)
The bottom (with quotes from Connolly and Pearse) was seen in the 1989 image An Attitude Of Revolt.
