Parte 38 - The Irish Cigarette / letter from Constance Markievicz

A clipping of a letter from Constance Markievicz published in the ‘Freeman’s Journal’ on the need to encourage more Irish people to buy locally-made cigarettes. Markievicz references the experiences of female workers in the tobacco industry and a campaign by the Women Workers Union which notes that two hundred women had recently been dismissed due to a ‘slackness in work’.
