This is the road we're on. None of us created this road. This road was here when we were born' Roseleen Walsh, internee and writer

The Road of Women follows the path of Irish women political prisoners, many of whose voices have never before been recorded. Their stories ' of arrest, imprisonment, abuse, campaigning, and freedom ' document Irish women's ongoing struggles for personal and political freedom, social justice, human rights and prison reform.

Speaking to anyone interested in human rights, The Road of Women is an important testimony to political activism.

Though there have been books written about Irish women republican prisoners, this may well be the first documentary where women prisoners are the exclusive focus-The Irish Voice
