Rose Dugdale was born into a life of privilege. She was a British heiress who was due to inherit a large fortune. However, this was not the life Dugdale dreamed for herself. She would give it all up to become a militant freedom fighter. 

The cause that she devoted her life to was to give the Irish Independence from British rule. To do this, she joined the IRA and took part in more than one strike against the English. 

I remember thinking that if you're involved in this, you need to accept the possibility that at the end of the day, you may have to kill people. - Rose Dugdale
