Cumann na mBan

Cumann na mBan was an Irish women's organization founded in 1914 to support Irish independence efforts. It acted as a supplementary group to the Irish Volunteers, focusing on activities like organizing supplies, providing medical aid, and encouraging nationalist sentiment among women. Members played vital roles during the Irish War of Independence and the 1916 Easter Rising, often risking their safety. The organization helped mobilize women in the fight for Irish self-rule and contributed to shaping Ireland’s national identity, advocating for political rights, and supporting revolutionary activities.
