## Resource

Today we’re looking at the case of Annie Walsh, the last woman ever executed in Ireland. Convicted of murdering her husband in 1925, her story is often reduced to a scandalous love triangle, but there’s far more going on beneath the surface. Annie wasn’t the only woman sentenced to death in Ireland, she was just one of the very few who wasn’t spared. So in this episode, we’re breaking down the murder, the trial, and the bigger question of why Annie Walsh was hanged, when so many other women weren’t. Episode written & narrated by me, researched by Karl O'Reilly https://archive.is/EYYc7#selection-4643.110-4647.148 Women and the death penalty in Ireland Annie Walsh and Michael Talbot for the Murder of Annie’s Husband – Capital Punishment UK Limerick woman and alleged poisoner was the last woman in Ireland sentenced to burning Full article: Crime in the nineteenth-century Irish home When loss of liberty is extended long after leaving a prison cell Gender and Punishment in Ireland: Women, Murder and the Death Penalty, 1922-1964 – Estudios Irlandeses Limerick woman and alleged poisoner was the last woman in Ireland sentenced to burning Prison mugshot of Elizabeth Buchanan on transfer to Grangegorman Female... | Download Scientific Diagram Donnybrook When loss of liberty is extended long after leaving a prison cell The very strange tale of the O'Leary family murder | Southern Star Full article: Crime in the nineteenth-century Irish home Gender and Punishment in Ireland: Women, Murder and the Death Penalty, 1922-1964 – Estudios Irlandeses To access bonus weekly episodes of Red Room join Patreon HERE Hosted on Acast.
