In ancient times, before Patrick, as the story goes, the first people to land on Irish soil were fifty women and their queen. From that day to this, women have figured large in Irish history and lore. And, in these pages, Trina Robbins has done her bit to make sure the bloom stays on the rose. Robbins, a writer whose works include the first show more all-women comic books and the first books about women cartoonists and superheroines, is the author of Tender Murderers and Eternally Bad: Goddesses with Attitude. She lives in San Francisco. show less
