Constance Markievicz was an Anglo-Irish Countess, Sinn Fein and Fianna Fail politician, revolutionary nationalist, suffragette, and socialist. She contributed to many Irish independence movements, even taking the role of second-in-command for the 1916 Easter Rising. During the fight she wounded a British sniper, and she was the only woman out of 70 to be jailed in solitary confinement.
