- Résumé : The excerpt from "Women of 'Ninety-Eight" by Helena Concannon delves into the poignant story of Elizabeth Mason Emmet, the mother of the renowned Irish patriots, Thomas Addis Emmet and Robert Emmet. Elizabeth's life is portrayed as a tapestry of joy and sorrow, marked by her marriage to Dr. Robert Emmet and the birth of her children, many of whom did not survive infancy. Her sons, however, grew to be influential figures in the fight for Irish independence. The narrative highlights Elizabeth's intellectual and emotional strength, her role as a nurturing mother, and her profound influence on her sons' political convictions. The text paints a vivid picture of her life, from her early days in Killarney to her marriage in Cork, and her eventual move to Dublin. It also touches on the tragic events of 1798, when her son Thomas Addis was arrested for his involvement with the United Irishmen, and the subsequent execution of her youngest son, Robert, in 1803. Elizabeth's death, just days before Robert's execution, is depicted as a merciful release from her suffering. The narrative underscores the deep bond between Elizabeth and her sons, particularly Robert, whose final thoughts were of his mother. Through this intimate portrayal, Concannon captures the essence of a mother's love and the personal sacrifices made by the families of those who fought for Ireland's freedom.
