by Margaretta D'Arcy  Tell Them Everything: A Sojourn in the Prison of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II at Ard Macha (Armagh) by Margaretta D'ArcyLondon: Pluto Press, 1981.
from the book jacket: "This is the story of a sentence served in the bizarre and controversial jail environment that has resulted from the British government's new policy (1976) of 'criminalising' political prisoners in Northern Ireland.
The author preferred to spend three months in Armagh Jail with 30 young republican women on the no-wash protest rather than pay a fine for protesting (on International Women's Day 1979) against the conditions in the prison - she describes vividly but with humour how the women organised themselves with courage and dignity despite living amid blood for 23 hours a day. She poses a crucial question for the women's movement - can it remain silent in the face of the sufferings and resistance of the republican women prisoners in Ireland?
