Ladies' Land League (LLL), set up in 1881 at Michael
Davitt's invitation to run the
Land War in the event of its leaders being jailed. Headed by
Parnell's sister Anna, the LLL resisted evictions, held public meetings, distributed
United Ireland, provided temporary accommodation for evicted tenants, and tried to implement
Land League policy. It was wound up in 1882 at Anna Parnell's insistence, as she believed it had responsibility without power. The LLL was the first time Irish women became formally involved in nationalist politics. As well as relatives of key nationalists ( Anna Parnell, John
O'Leary's sister Ellen), it included other women who were starting out on a long life of political activism— Jennie O'Toole (later Wyse Power), Hanna Reynolds, Hannah Lynch—almost all of them from middle‐class backgrounds. Davitt claimed later that the LLL were ‘honester and more sincere than the men’.
