Celtic badass - Bernadette Devlin
by Jeff McDonald
This awesome civil rights leader, activist, and politician from Northern Ireland embodies the term Celtic badass. Bernadette Devlin looks innocent but that's where the innocents stop. At age 21, Devlin was the youngest woman ever elected to British Parliament in 1969, and perhaps the most self-assertive, too. She helped to form the student civil rights campaigning movement, People’s Democracy, as well as the Irish Republican Socialist Party. She has been an unstoppable, unmoveable, unflappable voice of advocacy for women and minorities across Ireland.
