The Irish potato famine played a significant role in the migration patterns from Ireland to the United States, however, much of the research has solely focused on the men in these migration patterns. The women involved in these migration patterns, long neglected and overlooked by historians, were equally important to the history of the famine and subsequent migration patterns from Ireland to the United States. The men, women, and children impacted by the Irish potato famine experienced excruciating heartache and loss, as well as extreme conditions and deprivation. Yet, through it all, those who were able to migrate to the United States contributed to the growth of the Irish population and protected Irish culture.

McAleese, who served two terms as president of Ireland, from 1997 through 2011, was the first person born in Northern Ireland to hold that office. After earning a law degree at Queens University Belfast, she worked as a barrister, and later served as Reid Professor of Criminal Law at Trinity College Dublin. Her tenure as president of the Irish Republic was notable for the attention she gave to peace and reconciliation in the North. “Building Bridges” was the theme of her presidency, something she well understood the importance of, having been the eldest of 9 children in a family that was compelled to move out of North Belfast in the wake of sectarian violence. The presidential residence in Phoenix Park, Áras an Uachtaráin, was a venue at which McAleese hosted people from the North with whom she also engaged personally in Belfast.
