Nothing Compares • 2022

Sinéad O'Connor: When I leave Ireland, it's virtually unheard of for a woman to be making her own living and independent of men. The Irish fucking Constitution still contains the wording that a woman's place is in the home. So, I was very lucky. From 1985 I was making my own living.

When I leave Ireland it's virtually unheard of

00:00:03.799 --> 00:00:06.199

for a woman to be making her own living

00:00:06.199 --> 00:00:08.279

and independent of men

00:00:11.002 --> 00:00:14.006

The Irish fucking constitution still contains the wording

00:00:14.006 --> 00:00:16.064

that a woman's place is in the home

00:00:16.064 --> 00:00:21.002

So I was very lucky from 1985 I was making my own living

00:00:21.241 --> 00:00:24.241

So many people in this country women in particular

00:00:24.242 --> 00:00:28.402

had to say no when they wanted to say yes to themselves

00:00:28.441 --> 00:00:31.281

or be open about their anger

00:00:31.321 --> 00:00:34.401

At that time in Ireland women weren't allowed to be angry

00:00:34.442 --> 00:00:36.242

And I think that might've been hard for some of them

00:00:36.281 --> 00:00:38.241

because you know they had spent their whole life

00:00:38.282 --> 00:00:39.962

saying no to themselves
