Ann Rossiter, a long-standing Irish feminist who has been involved in
IWASG and Iasc for many years, is from Bruree, Co. Limerick and has lived in London for more than half a
century. She has also been an activist in feminist groups concerned with women
and the Irish National Question, such as Women and Ireland and the London
Armagh Group. The latter was set up to
oppose the treatment of republican women prisoners, in particular the practice
of strip searching. She has written a number of articles on these subjects and
holds a doctorate in the history of the encounter between English and Irish
feminism during the years of ‘the Troubles’. She taught Irish Studies for over
a decade at various institutions, including Kilburn Polytechnic (now the
College of North West London), Birkbeck, London Metropolitan, and Luton
university. Read more about Ann's thoughts at her BLOG |  |
