Ireland - Peat Fuel, c1903. A Glimpse into the Hardships of Irish Women in Dooagh Village
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print takes us back to the turn of the century in Ireland, specifically to the village of Dooagh on Achill Island. In this poignant image captured by The Granger Collection, we witness a group of resilient women carrying baskets filled with peat for fuel. The harshness of their reality is palpable as they navigate through the cold and unforgiving landscape. These women, undoubtedly from the lower class, were tasked with gathering peat – an essential source of heat during those times – to sustain their families through bitter winters. Their weathered faces tell stories of perseverance and resilience amidst poverty. This snapshot offers a glimpse into the daily struggles faced by these Irish women who worked tirelessly to provide warmth for their loved ones. As we reflect upon this historical moment frozen in time, it serves as a reminder that not all chapters in history are glamorous or prosperous. It sheds light on an era when survival meant enduring physical labor under challenging circumstances. Let this photograph be a tribute to these unsung heroines who carried more than just peat; they carried hope and determination within them. Their strength resonates even today as we honor their legacy and recognize their contribution towards shaping Ireland's history.
