Margaretta D'Arcy, known to longtime WINGS listeners as Radio Pirate Woman, is an Irish actress, playwright, feminist, and peace activist, who has been repeatedly arrested and served time for her peace activism
Margaretta D'Arcy is an Irish woman of many talents, one of which is raising hell on behalf of peace. At age 91, she still gets out on the streets in her wheelchair, with her bullhorn, calling Ireland to protect its constitutional neutrality. Here, from our archive, is the radio documentary Margaretta produced for WINGS about founding Ireland's version of the Raging Grannies.
