Jennie Wyse Power

Jane "Jennie" Wyse Power (née O'Toole; 1 May 1858 – 5 January 1941) was an Irish activist, feminist, politician and businesswoman. She was a founder member of Sinn Féin and also of Inghinidhe na hÉireann.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Women in History: Jennie Wyse Power biography )〕 She rose in the ranks to become one of the most important women of the revolution. President of Cumann na mBan she left the radicalised party and formed a new organisation called Cumann na Saoirse, holding several senior posts in the Dail during the Free State.
==Life==
Born Jane O'Toole in Baltinglass, County Wicklow in 1858, the daughter of Edward O'Toole and Mary Norton.〔O'Neill, Marie, (1991), ''From Parnell to de Valera: A Biography of Jennie Wyse Power 1858–1941''. Dublin: Blackwater Press. p. 7 ISBN 0861213335〕 When she was only two years old her father sold the business and moved to Dublin, where she attended either Warrenmount National School or Loreto Day School. Her family were strongly Nationalist and provided refuge for several Fenians. Before she was twenty she and her four siblings lost both their parents to illness. In 1881 she became involved in politics for the first time by joining the Ladies' Land League that year.〔O'Neill, pp. 10–11.〕 She was an intimate of Anna Parnell and an admirer of Anna's brother, Nationalist Member of Parliament and Leader of the Home Rule Party, Charles Stewart Parnell.〔O'Neill, pp. 26–27.〕
During her time in the Ladies Land League she met her husband, John Wyse Power, the then editor of the Leinster Leader newspaper and a member of the Irish Republican Brotherhood. He was also one of the founder members of the Gaelic Athletic Association (GAA).〔Official programme, All-Ireland football final, 2009.〕 They married on 5 July 1883 and lived in Naas, County Kildare. The family moved to Dublin in 1885 after John secured a position with the national Freeman's Journal.〔O'Neill, pp.30–31.〕 They had four children together. Their youngest, a son, was born five months after the death of Parnell and was christened Charles Stewart Wyse Power in his memory. In that same year she published ''Words of the Dead Chief'', with an introduction from Anna Parnell, containing a selection of extracts from Parnell's speeches. The Wyse Powers appear as the Wyse Nolans in ''Ulysses'' by James Joyce.〔O'Neill, p. 75〕
After Parnell's fall from grace and death, she and her husband were disillusioned and stayed out of politics for some time. She remained an active member of the Dublin Women's Suffrage Association, however, although was never very prominent in the organisation. In 1899 the family moved to the city centre and she set up in business at 21 Henry Street calling her shop the Irish Farm Produce Company where she sold eggs, butter, cream, honey, confectionery and all-Irish produce. The business included a restaurant with tea and luncheon rooms.〔O'Neill, pp. 46–47.〕 In 1900 she was elected as one of the four Vice-Presidents of Inghinidhe na hEireann.〔McCoole, p.20.〕 In 1903 she was elected as a Poor Law guardian for North Dublin, and served until 1911, when she lost her seat. She had vocally criticised public housing and public health conditions throughout her tenure as a Poor Law guardian.〔O'Neill, pp.50–52.〕 Her restaurant proved attractive to many nationalists of her generation in the Gaelic League and founders of Sinn Féin. At the inaugural meeting of Sinn Féin she was included as a resident member of the executive.〔O'Neill, pp. 57–58.〕 Arthur Griffith called the women a "passive resistance, boycotting and non-violent agitation". But Sinn Féin would prove an exception to that rule.〔McCoole, p.26.〕
In 1908 she expanded her business by acquiring new premises at 21 Lower Camden Street, again emphasising the sale of solely Irish produce. By 1912 Wyse Power was a Vice-President of Sinn Féin: on 5 April 1914 at Wynne's Hotel, Dublin she became a founder member of Cumann na mBan and was an active member of the Central Branch.〔O'Neill, p. 73.〕 On 31 October 1914, she was elected the first President of Cumann na mBan. The signing of the Proclamation of the Irish Republic took place in her house in Henry Street.〔Clarke, Kathleen (2008), ''Kathleen Clarke: Revolutionary Woman'', Dublin: O'Brien Press. p. 100〕 During the Easter Rising the house was destroyed by fire. After the Rising she and her daughter, Nancy, helped re-organise Cumann na mBan and distribute funds to families suffering hardships due to the Rising. These funds had been sent by Clan na Gael in the United States. At this time she was succeeded as President of Cumann na mBan by her close friend, Countess Markievicz, then in prison. Wyse Power joined the Irish Women's Franchise League at this time.〔O'Neill, pp. 91–92.〕 In the period after the Rising Sinn Féin's military wing expanded rapidly to 600 branches of Volunteers around the country recruiting women as well as men; Wyse Power was one of the executive sent to actively prepare female recruits.〔Ward, Unmanageable Revolutionaries, p.131. McCoole, p.65.〕
At the 1918 general election Markievicz was chosen to stand for Sinn Féin in Dublin St. Patrick's and Cumann na mBan and other feminists actively campaigned for her in what proved to be one successful contest of a Sinn Féin landslide. In 1919 she was appointed Treasurer of the Sinn Féin Executive, when she recorded in Leabhar na mBan, their aims to include 'all shades of nationalist thought'.〔McCoole, p.28.〕 She was subsequently elected as one of five women members onto Dublin Corporation in 1920 for the Inns Quay – Rotunda District.〔 Throughout much of the latter half of 1919 a room in her restaurant in Henry Street, Dublin served as the Headquarters of the Irish Volunteers.〔 In 1991, the 1916–21 Club marked the home and business premises of Wyse Power at 21 Henry Street with a plaque. On Cosgrave arrest in June 1920, she was one of a new Dail Commission appointed to overcome financial difficulties in Local Government.〔Daly, 'Local Government and the First Dail', p.126. Townshend, "The Republic", p.122.〕 She was chosen by Collins for use in his extensive spy networks throughout Ireland and abroad.〔Meda Ryan, "Michael Collins and the Women of Ireland.", p.78.〕 By the end of 1921 Power was convinced that supporting the treaty would mean the need to leave Cumann to form a separate organisation: Collins had backfired.〔Humphreys papers, UCAD, P106/1735(1). William Fitzgerald (ed.),〕

Wyse Power had supported Parnell's efforts to achieve Home Rule and supported the 1912 Home Rule Bill. As such it was natural that she would support the Anglo-Irish Treaty, although she was one of the few advanced Nationalist women to do so. However, she retained friendships on the Anti-Treaty side. Along with other Pro-Treaty women she helped set up Cumann na Saoirse – The League for Freedom – to replace Cumann na mBan in March 1922.〔Field Day Anthology of Irish Writing vol. 5, p. 122〕 She was appointed to the Irish Free State Seanad Éireann as a Cumann na nGaedheal member in December 1922 by the President of the Executive Council, W. T. Cosgrave.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Mrs. Jane Wyse Power )〕 She was one of four women elected or appointed to the first Seanad in 1922.〔The other women were Alice Stopford Green, Ellen Cuffe, Countess of Desart, and Eileen Costello〕 During the Irish Civil War, the property of Free State Senators was often attacked by anti-Treaty republicans. On 10 December 1922, her premises in Camden Street was bombed with considerable damage done. She complained in December 1922, that Mary MacSwiney and others were particularly "very free in their criticisms" – which stunned Power and many others in the rank and file, most of whom were pro-treaty.〔Knirck, "Women in the Dail", p.97; Townshend, "The Republic: The Fight For Irish Independence", (London 2014), p.363-364.〕 In 1922, only Wyse Power and Colonel Maurice George Moore opposed the appointment of Lord Glenavy as Cathaoirleach, as Lord Glenavy was a Unionist.〔O'Sullivan, p. 117〕 Wyse Power served on the Cumann na nGaedheal Ard Chomhairle but her time in the Seanad saw her become increasingly disillusioned with Government policy particularly over the debacle of the Boundary Commission. The last meeting of Cumann na nGaedheal she attended was on 1 December 1925 and thereafter she sat as an independent Senator.〔O'Neill, pp. 158–59〕
With the entry of Fianna Fáil into both the Dáil and Seanad she found herself more regularly voting with that party in divisions along with Colonel Moore and Senator James Charles Dowdall.〔Gaughan Rev. Anthony (1996), ''Memoirs of Senator Joseph Connolly''. Dublin, Irish Academic Press. p. 273〕 In 1934 her close friend, Seán T. O'Kelly, had her daughter, Nancy, transferred from the Department of Industry and Commerce to the Department of Local Government to act as his Private Secretary. O'Kelly was probably the one who persuaded Wyse Power to join Fianna Fáil that year and stand for the party in the 1934 Seanad Election where she was re-elected for nine years and would serve until the Seanad was abolished in 1936.〔O'Neill, p. 172〕 She opposed those Conditions of Employment Bill which she felt discriminated against women. On 5 January 1941, aged 82, she died at her home in Dublin, and was interred in Glasnevin Cemetery with her husband and daughter, Máire (who predeceased her). Her funeral was attended by many from both sides of the Dáil and the former revolutionary movement.〔O'Neill, p. 182.〕
