"Ireland is known worldwide as the 'Land of Saints and Scholars' and many male Irish saints are well-known for their work, like St Columba, and of course St Patrick. We speak about St Patrick quite often and along with St Brigid, these two saints are the most famous from the annals of our country's history. However, there are many. many Ireland female saints that are left unspoken of. Great pioneering women such as St Attracta, St Ite and St Bronach have all had marvellously wondrous feats of God attributed to them. Why are these amazing Christian women left forgotten by time? Lorraine Mulholland in her new book, Saint Brigid & Other Amazing Irish Women aims to change that. Many Irish women saints are revered locally such as St Gobnait and some are internationally celebrated such as St Dymphna but most often in national and secondary schools children only learn of the three patron saints of Ireland, of which only one is a woman - St Brigid. But what about the other Irish women who have made a difference? With Imbolc/St Brigid's Day becoming a new national holiday this year, the focus of much of the celebration is Irish women themselves, their contribution to Irish society, their hard work and achievements, and their stories. Below are just four of the famous Irish female saints that have often over the years become eclipsed by others and forgotten by many."--
