Truth Mott Wells “Because we must tell and retell, learn and relearn, these women’s stories, and we must make it our personal mission, in our everyday lives, to pass these stories on to our daughters and sons. Because we cannot—we must not—ever forget that the rights and opportunities we enjoy as women today were not just bestowed upon us by some benevolent ruler. They were fought for, agonized over, marched for, jailed for and even died for by brave and persistent women and men who came before us....

  • Collins, Eileen Marie
    TEXT OF THE INTRODUCTORY ADDRESS DELIVERED BY: DR HUGH BRADY, Pro-Vice-Chancellor of the University, President, University College Dublin, on 14 June, 2006, in University College Dublin on the occasion of the conferring of the Degree of Doctor of Science honoris causa, on EILEEN MARIE COLLINS A Sheansailéir, a mhuintir na hOllscoile agus a dhaoine uaisle, Eileen Marie Collins was four-and-a-half years old when Yuri Gagarin made history as the first man in space. When she was growing up in the 1960s in Elmira, New York, there were no female astronauts and no female military pilots. The closest she would have come to a female role model was Lieutenant Uhura! It wasn’t until 1978 that NASA finally selected women for its space shuttle programme, and before 1992, female pilots were excluded from flying in combat. Eileen said once that eventually, having women in these roles wouldn’t be news anymore – it would be accepted and expected. It was a prophetic statement whose fulfillment she was to do more than anyone to bring about. Eileen Collins not only took on these aforementioned roles, at a time when it wasn’t accepted or expected, but did so in groundbreaking and record-breaking fashion. Just four years after becoming an astronaut, she became the first-ever female shuttle pilot. In 1999 she led the first shuttle mission to be commanded by a woman. She has clocked up 872 hours in space, on a total of four space flights, two of which she commanded. NASA Administrator Michael Griffin said of her earlier this year: “She is possessed of a quiet determination to attain the very highest levels of accomplishment.” And these she has attained in a number of different disciplines.
