‘THE SOLDIER’
2025

My favorite of the four illustrations of badass women - Dolours Price, political activist, member of the IRA and of elite group “The Uknowns”, responsible for many “disappeared”, amongst whom Jean McConville, whose kidnap and murder are the starting point of one of the best non-fiction books I’ve ever read, “Say Nothing” by Patrick Radden Keefe. Dolours Price and her sister Marian Price were also responsible for the Old Bailey bombing in 1973, for which they were imprisoned. In prison they went on hunger strike and Dolours developed a severe eating disorder for the rest of her life after being force fed.
