Portée et contenu
A clipping of a letter from Constance Markievicz published in the ‘Freeman’s Journal’ on the need to encourage more Irish people to buy locally made cigarettes. Markievicz references the experiences of female workers in the tobacco industry and a campaign by the Women Workers’ Union which notes that two hundred women had recently been dismissed due to a ‘slackness in work’.
