## Ndụ ndị okenye
When Biddy was eighteen, she began working for a landlord in Carheen, near Limerick, but was constantly mocked for her behavior. She left after a short time and went to live in a local poorhouse, where she was treated more kindly. During this time, she would wander around Gurteenreagh on market days, and it was there that she met her first husband, Pat Malley of Feakle. The couple faced many obstacles: Pat was twice Biddy's age and had a son, and Biddy had no children. However, they married. After their marriage, Biddy gave birth to a son, Paddy, her only child.  &#x5B;*<span title="This claim needs references to reliable sources.

Ezinụlọ ahụ biri n'ụlọ nwere ọnụ ụlọ atọ na Feakle, ọ bụkwa ebe a ka B When people didn't get the help they wanted from the priests or doctors, or if they couldn't afford to see a doctor, they would turn to Biddy.  Her cures did not only consist of applying herbs to a wound or feeding a recipe to the sick.  She was insightful and intuitive, which helped her to recognize and understand people's needs and choose appropriate yet creative measures to address them.   [citation needed] Biddy was also called upon occasionally to treat animals.  During her time, the death of an animal could lead to an inability to complete required tasks and cause a farm to fail.  This was important because it could, in turn, lead to eviction and poverty and, in extreme cases, loss of human life.  For the same reasons, farmers also asked Biddy to help with other problems related to daily life, such as restoring a spring well or fixing a problem with the farm's butter production.

## Esemokwu
Although the Catholic Church, which had a powerful influence on many people's lives at the time, did not approve of Biddy's work, she encouraged people to listen to her priests. The priests publicly rebuked her and discouraged people from visiting her, but some of them continued to visit her privately. People believed that she was good, some thought that the real reason for the priests' disapproval was that they "thought if Biddy did not [work as a healer] people would go for five and ten shillings".[1] This idea was repeated repeatedly in interviews with people who had personal knowledge of Biddy. Another factor must have been the folklore and mystique surrounding her. Although Biddy came from a lower class of farmers, the priests were often well-educated and had a strong emphasis on education, so they were "anxious to leave the world of the working class and herbalists".

The last generation of people who had a personal relationship with Biddy died out in the 1950s. The stories that continue today began with a strong tradition in the West of Ireland. Later, Lady Gregory compiled a valuable account 20 years after Biddy's death, and Meda Ryan and Edmund Lenihan wrote books based on interviews with many of the people whose parents or grandparents had a personal relationship with Biddy..   &#x5B;&#x5D;
