I learned a lot from this Book.

I absolutely love Irish history, in fact my family might say I am obsessed with it.
I had heard of many of the women in this book, but not all of them.
This really was interesting and diverse group of women, all having one thing in common, they are Irish.
I really enjoyed the book and the narration.
Just under 4 1/2 hours, it is a very easy listen in one day.
Each of the stories is rather short, under 15 minutes and the four narrators also make this book an enjoyable listen.

Wish it was longer!

Really enjoyed it and wished there were even more stories to share. Nicely narrated, although I wish that one narrator didn't do the accents.n
