Life edit
Born in Ring in County Waterford to schoolteachers Micheál Ó Foghludha and Eibhlín de Brún. Her father was an advocate for the Irish language and she graduated in Irish. She taught in County Waterford but she lost her job after the Easter Rising. Some suppose that her nationalism was the reason as she was an active nationalist and she supported the IRA.[citation needed]
Her book Brosna published in 1922 was used in Irish schools.[1]
She died in Caherciveen of pneumonia and was buried at Ring.[1][2]
