Mary O Rourke
Mary O Rourke (née Lenihan) worked as a secondary school teacher before beginning her political career, starting in local politics. She was first elected to the Dáil in 1982 as Fianna Fáil TD for Longford/Westmeath.
In her 2012 memoir, Just Mary: My Memoir, she describes life as a woman in the male-dominated world of politics, the sexism she sometimes had to deal with and the difficulties of balancing her busy career with raising a family. The No 1 best-seller won the Listeners Choice Award at the 2012 BGE Irish Book Awards.
