DESCRIPTION:Constance Markievicz (nee Gore-Booth\, 1868-1927)\, was born t
 o the privileged Protestant upper class in the west of Ireland.  She embra
 ced suffrage and then scandal as she left the Slade School of Art in Londo
 n for a bohemian life in a Parisian atelier.  There she met Casimir Dunin 
 Markievicz (1874-1932)\, becoming part of a local avant-garde\, which had 
 the painter and mystic\, George Russell (AE) at its centre.  The Markievic
 es took a prominent role in anti-imperial debates that not only related to
  Constance's home country but also Casimir's native Poland during World Wa
 r One and to the post –War Irish republican movement.
