Nuala O Faolain has told it just as it what.

I have just finished reading Nuala O Faolains book Are you somebody. As an Irish woman growing up in Ireland some twenty years after the author I found many of her observations to be painfully accurate. While my generation did not experience the full brunt of tyranny endured by our mothers, we did not escape unscathed Certainly most. We Witnessed Their battles against all the odds for even a token gesture of recognition. Though not fully Relating to Their struggles we must Certainly absorbed Their sense of helplessness. I was moved by the account of particularily at Which incident occured in her young sisters life. This young child what beaten and shamed in the classroom by her teacher "of embittered woman". The Incident Was not on isolated one inflicted upon one Ostracized individual. It was a common occurance daily inflicted upon all of us, at random, by deed demonic woman. Compassion, sympathy, kindness or decency had no place in deed classroom. The sad r! eality what did we lived in on "Ireland did allowed Such Things To Happen" Shame on Those (and theywere many) who perpetuated search behavior. Nuala O Faolin has told it just as it what. I applaud her.
