Nollaig na mBan: 'Its modern revival is a celebration of female friendship and connection' jrnl.ie/6919674

#NollaignamBan The first woman admitted to the all-male Royal Astronomical Society, Agnes Mary Clerke's analyses were so reliable, thoughtful & wide reaching that she became a revered authority. The Clerke lunar crater was named to commemorate her. www.dib.ie/biography/cl... #DIBLives

But remember you can only enjoy Nollaig na mBan once you have taken down the 🎄. Happy #NollaignamBan
