Arklow Library is hosting a special display this week to mark International Women s Day.
The Library on the Main Street will showcase the Our Wicklow Women exhibition in its windows until Friday, March 12 to be enjoyed by those living in the local area.
The exhibition tells the stories, unique experiences and achievements of women from all over County Wicklow.
It was created in 2018 as part of the commemorations of the centenary of the Representation of the People Act 1918 which extended for the first time the right to vote (suffrage) to women, albeit with certain restrictions.
The Wicklow Heritage Forum, through Our Wicklow Heritage, made a public appeal for stories relating to Wicklow women. Stories were invited of Wicklow women who have made a difference in our community: stories of success, struggle or of quiet diligence.
