She was born in Derry in 1944, and went on to co-found the Irish Women's Liberation Movement.
Journalist, author and women's rights activist Nell McCafferty has died at the age of 80.
She passed away this morning at a nursing home in Donegal.
She was born in Derry in 1944.
McCafferty was an outspoken journalist in her 20s - becoming a trailblazer at a time when it certainly wasn’t popular to be one.
She was the founding member of the Irish Women’s Liberation Movement and was on the 1971 'condom train', where women travelled to the North and illegally brought back contraception.
She also spoke out about sexual abuse scandals in the Catholic Church, the Kerry Babies Case, and was an advocate for equal rights.
