What an iconic picture this is, capturing the strength, pride, optimism and exhilaration of the circus performer and the circus itself! It looks like the Rosie the Riveter of the circus world.
In fact, it is strong-woman Aoife Raleigh, one of the stars of Daring Dames, Europe's only all-female circus festival, which takes place on Achill Island, off the coast of County Mayo in Ireland from 24 - 26 May.
Promising a packed programme of indoor and outdoor, day and evening performances in a variety of venues, including a trapeze rig set up beside the ocean, plus talks and discussions on issues affecting women in the circus, the whole event is completely free to attend.
