In addition to her intense suffrage and labour activism, Eva Gore-Booth wrote poetry, periodical essays, political pamphlets, religious criticism, plays, and an autobiograpical sketch. Her work was admired by her contemporaries
Katharine Tynan, 'Æ' (
George Russell), and
W. B. Yeats. In 1935, critic Richard Fox wrote that Eva Gore-Booth had an assured place in Irish literary history, but in the early twenty-first century all of her texts are out of print. She is now best known as the sister of Irish patriot and feminist
Constance Markievicz, and for
Yeats's elegy
"In Memory of Eva Gore-Booth and Con Markievicz".
