Books, Manuscripts
'Whispering Hope' is the heart-wrenching story of five women who were confined in Magdalene Laundries in Ireland during the 1950s, 60s and 70s. The women are now between the ages of 56 and 79 and recount the harrowing physical and psychological abuse they endured in the institutions run by the state. In first-person accounts they reveal the shame and secrecy surrounding these desolate places.
