A great insight into the project on recovering VOICES of women - from Ireland’s “dung queen” to the alleged 118 yr old Mrs Valentine 💌 @janeohlmeyer.bsky.social @voicestcd.bsky.social @tcddublin.bsky.social @adaptcentre.bsky.social @nlireland.bsky.social @tcdlibrary.bsky.social @tlrhub.bsky.social
From ‘the dung queen of Ireland’ to Jessie Buckley: @janeohlmeyer.bsky.social recently discussed with Clodagh Finn the importance of sharing early modern women’s stories, advances in AI tools, and how VOICES is leading the charge on both fronts.
A special thank you to Clodagh for the article!
Well worth watching.
