EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Memory Lane Prints takes us back to the turbulent era of the late 1960s in Northern Ireland. The image features a determined Bernadette Devlin, hailing from Cookstown, as she campaigns for the Mid Ulster Election in April 1969. Bernadette Devlin was not just an ordinary candidate; she was a trailblazer who shattered gender norms and challenged the status quo. As one of the few female politicians at that time, her presence on the political stage was groundbreaking and inspiring for women across Northern Ireland. The unrest gripping Northern Ireland during this period is palpable in Devlin's resolute expression. This photograph captures her unwavering commitment to fighting for justice and equality amidst a backdrop of social upheaval. As an MP representing Mid Ulster, Bernadette Devlin fearlessly advocated for civil rights and actively opposed discrimination against Catholics within Northern Irish society. Her fiery speeches resonated with many who felt marginalized or oppressed by prevailing power structures. This powerful image serves as a poignant reminder of both the challenges faced by women in politics during that era and their indomitable spirit to effect change. It stands as a testament to Devlin's enduring legacy as a pioneering figure in Irish history. Memory Lane Prints allows us to relive these historic moments through their carefully curated collection, preserving our collective memory of significant events like Bernadette Devlin's campaign for Mid Ulster Election in 1969.
