Coalition of Irish Republican Women

To subvert the tyranny of our execrable government, to break the
connection with England, the never-failing source of all our
political evils and to assert the independence of my country-
these were my objectives. To unite the whole people of Ireland,
to abolish the memory of all past dissensions, and to substitute
the common name of Irishman in place of the denominations of
Protestant, Catholic and Dissenter - these were my means.
