Maud Gonne

-
Standard Name: Gonne, Maud
Birth Name: Edith Maud Gonne
Used Form: MacBride, Maud
English-born MG subjected almost all the writing as well as all the activity in her life to her Irish nationalism. From a highly effective and dramatic orator she became a polemical journalist, first in French, then in English. She also published an autobiography of her earlier years.
