Dublin, Ireland - Countess Markievicz Seeks to Convert
From the The Wichita Beacon of May 18, 1916:

From Pennsylvania's Allentown Leader of May 19, 1916:

I love that vid that shows her returning from prison.
Glad that she didn't have to serve that life sentence altho she did end up behind bars a few more time before the British were done with her.
