Nancy Spero’s Notes In Time Part II comprises stencils of women from the troubles alongside poems such as Linda Anderson’s Gang-Bang, Ulster Style (about the murder of Ann Ogilby in 1974), and Roisin Cowman’s Dionysia. For history and discussion of the piece, see McGee (1993), Impact And The Visual Arts – Derry 1992 at NCAD.
