Kathleen Goodfellow

[3] She was a patron of the arts and of The Dublin Magazine, a literary journal owned by her friend Seumas O'Sullivan, to which she contributed articles, poems and book reviews.

On her mother's death in 1932, she inherited the estate of her maternal grandfather including property in England and Ireland, which made her independently wealthy.

[1] Goodfelllow joined the Rathmines branch of Cumann na mBan, where she was taught first aid, drilling and signalling by Phyllis Ryan.

[1] Goodfellow first met Estella Solomons, another Cumann na mBan member, on Baggot Street Bridge under sniper fire in the Easter Rising.

[4] The magazine became an influential literary publication, providing a platform for Irish art and literature until O'Sullivan's death in 1958.

[3] Solomons also painted in The Grove, a woodland area at the corner of Morehampton Road and Wellington Place, which was also owned by Goodfellow.

[1] In 1979 Goodfellow bequeathed ownership of The Grove to An Taisce, a charity that works to preserve and protect Ireland's natural and built heritage, on condition that it be maintained as a place of refuge for birds and plants.

[11] Goodfellow bequeathed the portraits Solomons had painted of her to the Model and Niland Collection in Sligo and the National Gallery of Ireland.
