Anne Roper’s No Country for Women: A Woman’s Place focussed on the discriminatory laws faced by the nation’s women in the wake of achieving the vote 100 years ago.
The programme sought to establish just how much has changed for women in Ireland since the suffragette movement, with attention on religious, legal and cultural influence.

And it’s safe to say that viewers were profoundly impacted by the stories shared on last night’s episode.
Taking to Twitter both during the broadcast and in the hours that followed, viewers heaped praise upon its creators, and urged those who had yet to watch the first episode to catch up in time for tonight’s.
Yes, it’s tough viewing, but for the vast majority who tuned in last night, it’s must-see television at its most powerful.
Watching #NoCountryForWomen and it’s giving me shivers down my spine, then I remember some of this shit is still going on. We owe it to those women, and to ourselves, to make it better.
#NoCountryforwomen was wonderful TV with incredibly brave women. Lavinia Kerwick’s courage & realisation of impact she had on rape law was a heartstopping moment. Is Ireland changed utterly? So important to vote for change, to mobilise, to show solidarity #feminism
It's not like we didn't know this, but seeing and hearing the stories of real women who had to endure that life has me in tears. It could have been any of our families My grandmother was born the same year as Julia from Connemara, it could have been her. #nocountryforwomen
The scariest part of No country for women is that 100 years on Rape and sexual violence are still rarely brought to trial. We haven’t moved as far forward as we imagine #NoCountryForWomen#nocountry
Catherine Corless is simply a hero, a warrior, there are no words to describe my admiration for her. This country has lurched forward only because of ordinary heroes who say NO MORE. #NoCountryForWomen
#NoCountryForWomen I hope that Irish school history curriculum in the near future has a dedicated chapter to the consistent punishment and institutionalisation of Mná na hEireann. Ireland's shameful past AND present should not be forgotten
