{"product_id":"9781526196972","title":"EVA Gore-Booth: Irish Radical Poet, Rebel and Reformer : Anniversary Edition by Sonja Tiernan","description":"An acclaimed biography of poet, pacifist and political firebrand Eva Gore-Booth.   The Irish poet and activist Eva Gore-Booth (1870-1926) led a life defiantly at odds with her aristocratic origins. Choosing to live and work among the poor of Manchester, she campaigned on behalf of barmaids, circus performers, flower sellers and pit-brow lasses, her partner, Esther Roper, at her side.   Gore-Booth was tireless in her pursuit of justice. She was a militant pacifist during the First World War, a champion of Irish independence and a pioneering thinker on gender and sexuality. She was also a prolific author, publishing nineteen volumes of poetry and prose that reflect the full force of her radical convictions.   Featuring a new preface that situates Gore-Booth's life and work in the context of our current political climate, this biography reclaims her place as a significant figure of Anglo-Irish letters and an unsung hero of LGBT+ history. -- .\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback \/ softback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56368972562805,"sku":"9781526196972","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781526196972.jpg?v=1773826615","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9781526196972","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
