This past August, Ireland lost one of its most prolific female writers, Edna O’Brien. A celebrated novelist, memoirist, playwright, and poet, O’Brien’s work touched countless lives and illuminated the female experience under repressive societal expectations across the globe.
These poignant images from Edna’s funeral, captured by Perry Ogden, offer a glimpse into the deep impact she had on those around her, as loved ones carried her to her final resting place—”Home in Co. Clare, among her mother’s people”.
