Alice by Sheila Turner Johnston
This is a biography of one of the lesser-known figures in Irish nationalism in the period 1890-1916. Alice Milligan was a prominent Gaelic Leaguer during the League's heyday in the early 1900s. This account traces Alice's journey from fun-loving girl to the Easter Rising of 1916 and beyond.
Sheila Turner Johnston was born in west Cork, Ireland and spent her childhood in different counties the length and breadth of the country, as the family moved wherever her father's job took him. She attended Queen's University, Belfast, and apart from managing to graduate against all her expectations, one of her best experiences was reading her poetry to an audience that included Seamus Heaney. Sheila has won prizes for both fiction and non-fiction, and has written many articles for both local and national publications. She and her husband Norman founded the publishing stable Colourpoint Creative Ltd, which is now owned and managed by their two sons.
