Quiz: Do you know who these notable Irish women are?

Nollaig na mBan shona daoibh.

NOLLAIG NA MBAN, or Women’s Little Christmas, is today.

Today was traditionally a day where women could kick their feet up, meet with their female friends while the men folk stay at home and handle all the chores.

Since, other celebrations like Mother’s Day and International Women’s Day have become more popular and many view today as the official end to Christmas.

Given the day that’s in it however, today we want to know… Do you know who these notable Irish women are?
