Women of the Easter Rising by Sadhbh Walshe - March 16, 2016 - http://www.nytimes.com Most of the women who took part in the 1916 insurrection never found their way into the history books. In recent decades, several historians, mostly women, have worked to change that. NOTE: Photo III: Kathleen Clarke with her sons John, Tom, and Emmet. Kathleen is wearing mourning clothes, and this photograph, taken in 1916, was widely used in fundraising for the families of combatants killed in the Rising, a cause Kathleen Clarke actively supported.// Photo IV: Thomas J. Clarke, circa 1915 by Keogh Brothrs // Kathleen Clarke (1878 - 1972) As the wife of Thomas Clarke — a signatory to the Proclamation of an Irish Republic, which promulgated Ireland’s independence from Britain — Kathleen Clarke was one of the few women privy to the secret plans for the Rising. Her husband forbade her to take part, however, saying that she would be needed to administer financial aid to the dependents of dead rebels once the rebellion was over. Ms. Clarke endured the triple loss of her husband, brother (Ned Daly) and close friend (Sean MacDiarmada) — all of whom faced the firing squad after the Rising was quashed. She went on to become the first female lord mayor of Dublin, in 1939. -- She was born in Limerick to Edward and Catharine Daly on 11 April 1878. She was the third daughter in a family of nine girls and one boy, Edward junior (Ned), born in 1890, five months after the death of his father. Edward senior, along with his brother John, had been involved with the Fenian uprising of 1867, and had spent some time in prison.

Clarke, 1858-1916 Thomas (Tom) Clarke was born on the Isle of Wight, England, where his father was a British Army soldier. Later, the family moved to Dungannon, Co. Tyrone. Clarke emigrated to the United States in 1882 and joined the revolutionary organisation Clan Na Gael. In 1883 he was sent to England on a dynamiting mission but was arrested and sentenced to penal servitude for life. Clarke served fifteen years in jail and returned to the US in 1898. He married Kathleen Daly and they had three sons. The family returned to Dublin in 1907, opening shops in Great Britain Street (Parnell Street) and Amiens Street. Clarke joined the Irish Volunteers and helped to revive the Irish Republic Brotherhood. He was the main link with Fenian and republican organisations in the United States and a member of the IRB Military Council. Clarke was the first signatory of the Proclamation of the Irish Republic and was stationed in the General Post Office. He opposed the surrender, but was outvoted. Clarke was executed by firing squad at Kilmainham Jail on 3 May.

Christophe Foultier, 39 Christophe, a husband and father, was among those killed at the Bataclan. He was with a group of four friends and was the only one who did not survive. Mr. Foultier may have worked in advertising by day, but by night he was a rock musician, working on his latest album. He was at the show with his wife, Caroline Jolivet. “We went to our first concert together at the Bataclan,” she said, “and a thousand more afterwards.” -- www.thursdayfile.com

Véronique Geoffroy de Bourgies, 54 Véronique lived in Paris but loved Madagascar, said her husband, Stéphane de Bourgies. It was there that she adopted their two children, now 12 and 15, and to Madagascar that she dedicated the last 15 years of her life. A native Parisian, Ms. Geoffroy de Bourgies was the daughter of two journalists, and a former model and journalist herself. But she quit her job in 2005 to create Zazakely Sambatra, a nongovernmental organization that helps children in Madagascar.

Éric Thomé, 39

A graphic designer from the Paris suburb of Clichy, Éric Thomé was an effusive rock and electronic music fan who enjoyed discovering new artists and songs, friends said. He died, along with more than 80 other music fans, in the attack on the Bataclan.

He was also a film buff and a self-taught photographer whose images had recently begun to attract critical attention.
