Galway Women’s Caucus supported by Galway City Council, Galway County Council, and See Her Elected (SHE)

Mary Robinson shattered ceilings by becoming the first women elected to the Irish Presidency in 1990.

This followed an extraordinary career as a constitutional lawyer and Senator and was followed by an equally extraordinary and courageous term as a crusading UN High Commissioner for Human Rights.

As leader of The Elders, as a champion of women, equality and justice, and as one of the most influential global voices on climate change, Mary Robinson is one the most remarkable Irish women of the last 50 years.

This inspiring film tells Mary’s story, in her own words, illuminating her battles for justice and equality over half a century; on the streets, in the courts, at the ballot box, and in backroom corridors of power.
