[1] Maura "Máire" Wyse Power was born at 7 Royal Terrace (now Inverness Road) Fairview, Dublin on 9 December 1887.
Along with her sister and brother, Wyse Power was a member of Conradh na Gaeilge, winning a prize for Irish at senior grade in 1905.
[1] Wyse Power died on 19 July 1916 at the home of a family friend in Sandycove, Dublin after a short illness.
Her death was recorded as resulting from "neurasthenia and cardiac asthma",[3] but her mother's biographer, Maire O'Neill, speculated that this may have been a euphemism for tuberculosis.
Her article on Irish historical poems from the Book of Lismore, "Cnuche Cnoc os cionn Life", was published posthumously in the Zeitschrift für Celtische Philologie (1917).
