Brigid and Beyond: The Women of Irish Folklore

National Library

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.
