Winifred Mabel Letts was born on 10 February 1882 in Salford, Lancashire, England. She was educated at St. Anne’s School, Staffordshire and later Alexandra College. After her father's death, she and her mother moved to Blackrock. In 1915, she joined the Volunteer Aid Detachment, serving with the Almeric Paget Massage Corps. Letts was a war poet whose work originally covered lyric poetry exploring Irish folk themes popularised by the Celtic Revival. In the 1950s, moved to Killiney. She died on the 7th June 1972 and is buried in Rathcoole. A memorial plaque celebrating her life and work was unveiled in Rathcoole by President Michael D. Higgins on 20 June 2022.[13]
