Constance Georgine Markievicz, the Rebel Countess, was born in London but studied in France where she met her husband. They settled together in Dublin and in 1908 she joined Sinn Féin and Inghinidhe na hÉireann ('Daughters of Ireland'). She co-founded the paramilitary organisation Fianna Éireann and was a member of the Irish Citizen's Army.
She participated in the Easter Rising of 1916, holding out for 6 days before she was arrested and sentenced to death. Her sentence was commuted to life on account of her gender. She was released under amnesty in 1917, and became the first woman elected to the British House of Commons (though she never took her seat). She was elected to the first parliament of the Irish Republic and served as Minister for Labor 1919-22, becoming only the second woman in Europe to hold a cabinet position.
She fought again in the Irish Civil War, was imprisoned for her staunch Republican views, and re-elected in 1927. She died only weeks after the election, in July 1927.
