JULIE DOUGAN, MARILYN BUCK, ALEJANDRINA TORRES

Julie Dougan was the first female IRA member killed in action.  July 8, 1972.  Sadly, that's all I can find out about her.  No photo, no biography.  Somebody needs to go to Ireland.


Alejandrina is a Puerto Rican independista, sentenced to 35 years, pardoned by Bill Clinton in 1999.  Here she is with her stepson, Carlos Alberto Torres, another independista, just released from prison last year after serving 30 years.



Marilyn Buck, daughter of an Episcopalian minister, was born in Midland, Texas in 1947.  She died last year, less than a month after she was released from prison.

  1. When I did a Google Image search for "Julie Dougan" (with quote marks), your photo of dried ancho showed up (scroll down a few pages)!
