  Maeve
If there ever was a woman named Maeve who reigned as queen of Ireland, it is probable that she was the namesake of the goddess; the goddess's legends may have attached themselves to a mortal bearer of her name.
Maeve is the central figure of the most important old Irish epic, the Tain Bo Cuillaigne, or Cattle Raid of Cooley.
Maeve tries to buy victory with her "willing thighs," stops the battle whenever she is menstruating, and otherwise shows herself to be an unusual warrior.

 Maeve Brennan 1929-2003   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
Maeve Brennan, the librarian colleague of Philip Larkin, who was one of the most enduring and important of his friends and lovers, died on June 11 2003 at the age of 73 in her home town of Hull.
Maeve often partnered him, because he said she was the only person he dared to dance with.
Maeve found him to be deeply sensitive, idealistic, yearning for warmth and affection, with a spiritual appreciation of nature and the countryside, and a feeling for religion, especially the Anglican church, that (as with Hardy) belied his stance as an unbeliever.

 Bookslut | Maeve Brennan: Homesick at the New Yorker by Angela Bourke
Maeve Brennan was born in Dublin in 1917 and came to Washington DC with her family in 1934.
She states at the beginning that because Maeve’s life was so influenced by her upbringing it was necessary to write several chapters about her parents and their lives before Maeve was born.
Regardless of the reason, the sections on Maeve seemed to be packed with unnecessary details about characters who appear and disappear for only a page or two (and truly contribute little) whereas there are bombings and political intrigue aplenty when writing about her parents.

 NPR : Queen Maeve's March
While working on a novel about Ireland's mythological Queen Maeve, Lyden met a group of Irish building an "army" to re-enact her war on the Kingdom of Ulster and ultimate battle with the Irish hero Cuchulain.
She was chided by her husband, King Ailil, that she was not as rich as he was, because she had one less bull than the king.
On a rainy day in June 2002, Lyden, Gilroy and an "army" of 35 volunteers began their re-enactment of Maeve's journey, which winds from the center of Ireland's midlands to the Cooley Mountains of the North, the stronghold of the Ulstermen.

Maeve always left us with something to reflect on and a deep yearning for her next release.
Maeve has obviously been the victim of identity theft and that person has written a contrived situation with paper-thin characters who are not very likeable and whose problems are strictly of their own making.
Maeve's characters were always more deeply developed, were good people with a tragic flaw perhaps, but after much soul-searching and a lot of Irish pluck managed to land butter-side up and delight the reader.

Maeve, meaning “she who intoxicates,” is a bright surprise in the midst of sleepy residential blocks.
Maeve sometimes feels more like a typical Lincoln Park bar (overhead television sets ensure that), but it’s still cozier and warmer than most local pubs.
It’s no Bin 36, but it doesn’t want—or need—to be as extravagant as a downtown wine bar.  With 22 wines available by the glass, plus a full bar, Maeve is perfect for the neighborhood it moved into.
