Brigid and Beyond: The Women of Irish Folklore

This event has ended

National Library, Friday 30th January

Brigid is an inspiring figure in Irish folklore that symbolises creativity, wisdom, and healing, among other qualities. While we turn our focus to Brigid at one of Ireland’s quarter days, we can also take this time and all it represents to explore how the qualities we find in Brigid appear in the other women of Irish folklore. Join folklorist Glynnis Cowley in celebrating the diverse figures of women in Irish folklore and their stories.
