She was the daughter of Jemmett Stopford, who worked for the British-run civil service in Dublin, and Constance Stopford, whose father, Evory Kennedy, was master of the Rotunda Lying-In (maternity) Hospital.<\/p>\n She spent the Easter holidays in 1916 at the Under-Secretary\u2019s Lodge at the Phoenix Park, home of Sir Matthew Nathan, one of the key figures in the British administration of Ireland. She clearly had sympathy for Sir Matthew, but she also became increasingly sympathetic to the 1916 Rebellion against British rule, which took place during her stay at the lodge.<\/p>\n Her diary of this period, from April 21st to May 6th 1916, provides us with a fascinating insight into one of the most defining moments in Irish History. The diaries record the views of a middle class Protestant woman and her friends, an unusual perspective on this time in Ireland.<\/p>\n Click here<\/a> to learn more about the 1916 Diary of Dorothy Stopford Price<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" \u00a0Dorothy Stopford Price (1890\u20131954) Arguably the most significant figure in Ireland\u2019s fight against TB, this sensitive and compelling biography tells the fascinating story of Dorothy Stopford Price.
