The book narrates the author's personal experiences during the 1916 Easter Rising in Ireland, a pivotal moment in the country's struggle for independence. Skinnider, a schoolteacher and nationalist, recounts her motivations, preparations, and active participation in the rebellion alongside other notable figures, such as the Countess Markievicz. The opening of the narrative sets the stage for Skinnider's involvement in the Irish revolutionary movement. She reflects on her upbringing, the historical context that fueled her resentment towards British rule, and her journey to Dublin at a pivotal time as the rebellion was being planned. Through her eyes, readers see her interactions with key players in the movement, including the Countess Markievicz, and her resolve to contribute to the struggle for Irish freedom as she engages in various acts of sabotage and military training aimed at opposing British authority. The beginning efficiently establishes both a personal and a collective connection to the fight for independence, revealing the intense emotions and stakes involved in the uprising.
