Art for today, of my namesake, from the Ulster Cycle of Irish mythology. 🍀

My mom was 3rd generation New York Irish, and saw Deirdre as a legendary feminist heroine who battled what we now call toxic masculinity from day one of her life. Perhaps she thought the name would empower me to have Deirdre’s strength.

Deirdre of the Sorrows, by John Duncan.
