Suzanne Rouviere Day (1876 –1964) was an Irish feminist, novelist and playwright. She founded the Munster Women’s Franchise League, was one of Cork’s first women poor-law guardians and served a support role in both World Wars.

From 1913 to 1917 she wrote three plays for the Abbey Theatre in collaboration with Geraldine Cummins (also Cork born), the most successful of which was this comedy ‘Fox and Geese.’
