Résumé

Feminist, farmer, abbess, bishop and miracle worker, St. Brigid has inspired Irish women and men down through the ages. She cared for the poor, healed the sick, and founded monastic settlements. She became patron saint of revolutionaries and women fighting for their rights. She is also credited with inventing the Rosary beads, brewing ale, and inspiring the first tiered wedding cake and Buy Irish campaign.
Pirate Queen Grace O'Malley, Lady Gregory and Maud Gonne MacBride, regarded her as a guiding light. All of them, including Brigitte Bardot, are featured in this book. The book also describes her holy wells, St. Brigid's Crosses, churches, miracles and cures - providing you with all you will ever need to know about this iconic saint.   REVIEWS 'A work of great scholarship, but which is simultaneously a page-turner.
It's a story of Brigids and Bridgets, of Bridies and Biddies, of Brides and Bredas, and it entertained me from start to finish. It's a triumph.' Pat Kenny, Newstalk 'Colm and Una are the only writers who can get me reading about the lives of the saints. They bring Brigid to life with their customary colour, great anecdotes, and give context to her extraordinary life.' Brendan O'Connor, RTÉ Radio 1
