Inghinidhe na hÉireann ('Daughters of Ireland' in Irish) was a revolutionary women’s society founded by Maud Gonne on Easter Sunday 1900.
In July 1900, it organised a treat for 30,000 schoolchildren as a counter-attraction to the official celebration of a royal visit to Ireland by Queen Victoria.
In 1908 Inghinidhe na hÉireann launched a monthly magazine, Bean na hÉireann, which was edited by Helena Moloney.
In May 1914, Inghinidhe na hÉireann merged with the newly-formed Cumann na mBan.
