A talk titled 'Bad Bridget: Ulster Women Behaving Badly in the United States' will be held on 12th November 2026 at 13:00 in Belfast. The event is free and takes place at the Public Record Office of Northern Ireland.
Join us at PRONI to hear Leanne McCormick and Elaine Farrell explore stories of the women from Ulster who emigrated to America.
From serial killers to shoplifters, this talk explores the experiences of some of the Ulster women who got into trouble with the law in the United States in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Drawing on research from the Bad Bridget project, this talk examines the complex lives and experiences of those for whom the American dream was anything but.
