Irish women counter BBC’s #100Women list

Pro-life activist selected for inspirational women’s list sparks controversy.

The BBC’s only pick from Ireland for its ‘100 Women’ to watch series received mixed reactions online. While the list boasted many popular choices, many disagreed with their selection of Cora Sherlock, a prominent Irish pro-life campaigner and blogger.
