COUNTESS MARKIEVICZ
1868-1927

Born in 1868, Markievicz was the only female leader of the Rising.

Georgine Goore-Booth took her name from her 1900 marriage to the Polish Count Casimir Markievicz. She joined Sinn Féin and, in 1909, founded Fianna Éireann (a nationalist scouts movement).

As a member of the Irish Citizen Army she was second in command of the rebels’ Stephens’ Green Garrison.
