Irish artist and activist, Margaretta D’Arcy’s account of being jailed in the North of Ireland in 1980 for showing peaceful solidarity with the marginalised Republican women prisoners in Armagh jail and her courage in joining them on the no-wash protest against the removal of political status by the British government. When the book was first published, there was a regime of censorship both in Ireland and the UK around the war in the North and very few people wanted to be associated with it. But slowly, the ideas in the book, that the struggle of Republican women was aligned to the struggle of women everywhere for equality, filtered through, encouraging Sinn Fein to put its women members on a more equal footing. Today Sinn Fein in the Six-Counties is led by a woman. Tell Them Everything is a sharp observation of how the state deals with difficult women prisoners and how women adapt, resist and survive the horrendous experience of jail and of being separated from their children and families. But it is also an insightful and funny account of a privileged outsider thrust into a terrifying nightmare because of principle. This second edition of the classic feminist prison memoir comes with a preface by noted criminologist and Hillsborough campaigner, Professor Phil Scraton.
