Annie Walsh and The Women Sent To The Gallows

Today we’re looking at the case of Annie Walsh, the last woman ever executed in Ireland. Convicted of murdering her husband in 1925, her story is often reduced to a scandalous love triangle, but there’s far more going on beneath the surface.Annie wasn’t the only woman sentenced to death in Ireland, she was just one of the very few who wasn’t spared. So in this episode, we’re breaking down the murder, the trial, and the bigger question of why Annie Walsh was hanged, when so many other women weren’t.Episode written & narrated by me, researched by Karl O'Reillyhttps://archive.is/EYYc7#selection-4643.110-4647.148Women and the death penalty in IrelandAnnie Walsh and Michael Talbot for the Murder of Annie’s Husband – Capital Punishment UKLimerick woman and alleged poisoner was the last woman in Ireland sentenced to burningFull article: Crime in the nineteenth-century Irish homeWhen loss of liberty is extended long after leaving a prison cellGender and Punishment in Ireland: Women, Murder and the Death Penalty, 1922-1964 – Estudios IrlandesesLimerick woman and alleged poisoner was the last woman in Ireland sentenced to burningPrison mugshot of Elizabeth Buchanan on transfer to Grangegorman Female... | Download Scientific DiagramDonnybrookWhen loss of liberty is extended long after leaving a prison cellThe very strange tale of the O'Leary family murder | Southern StarFull article: Crime in the nineteenth-century Irish homeGender and Punishment in Ireland: Women, Murder and the Death Penalty, 1922-1964 – Estudios IrlandesesTo access bonus weekly episodes of Red Room join Patreon HERE Hosted on Acast.
