Hi Liam
Sorry for the delay in replying. I've checked with my client who is Martha's granddaughter living here in Australia, and she is happy for you to buy a copy of the book. I write and produce books for clients and charge only printing costs for any books ordered. Martha's book is available through Blurb - an online bookstore - just search for Martha Kelly. Let me know if you have any trouble finding it and I'll send a link. The cost will be about $12 Australian, plus roughly the same in postage if you are in Ireland.
I'm actually fascinated by the process of the interviews that Jack did, especially the issues of awarding pensions to people such as Martha who had been fighting against the state in the Civil War. I loved reading the direct excerpts from the interviews which were the only hint of the real woman I portray in the book. There seemed to be hints of downplaying the role of women so it was wonderful to see someone like your grandfather smash that with his statement, especially given his position on the board. I was cheering him on from a distance of many years in the future :-)
