    A conversation with Susan Marie Martin

    The Dublin Book Festival takes place every November and has a wide range of events to go to. This year, the festival took place from Nov. 5th to 9th with the events spread across Dublin city.

    TheCity attended ‘Women, Struggle, and Resilience,’ a talk that was held in the Royal Irish Academy. Afterwards, TheCity had the opportunity to speak to one of the speakers on the night, Susan Marie Martin PhD. Dr Martin wrote her book on female Dublin street traders from the years 1882-1932. In the discussion Dr Martin talks about why she got interested in street traders in the first place, how she became affiliated with the Dublin Book Festival, and what the future holds for her.
