Kay Summersby and the Forgotten Woman Behind Eisenhower | Ireland News

Hollywood’s new film Pressure is spotlighting the extraordinary life of West Cork-born Kay Summersby, who drove ambulances in London, commanded troops in the US Women’s Army Corps, and was personally endorsed by Churchill for her bravery — all while being secretly close to General Eisenhower. Now, Tamasin MacCarthy Morrogh, Kay’s relative, is bringing her story back into the public eye through powerful readings from Kay’s own memoirs, coinciding with the film’s release. These intimate, revealing sessions — starting at Bantry Bookshop on September 16th and continuing at Skibbereen’s Antiquity Bookshop on the 18th — are part of Tamasin’s ambitious DNAtured Trilogy, a mission to resurrect the untold stories of remarkable women from her family whose legacies were buried to protect male political figures. This isn’t just history — it’s a riveting, personal journey that reclaims the voices silenced by time. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
