Margaret Frances Skinnider (28 May 1892 – 10 October 1971)[1] was a revolutionary and feminist born in Coatbridge, Scotland. She fought during the 1916 Easter Rising in Dublin as a sniper, among other roles, and was the only woman wounded in the action. As a scout, she was praised for her bravery.[2] Sadhbh Walshe in The New York Times refers to her as "the schoolteacher turned sniper".[3]
