Agent of Peace: Emily Hobhouse and Her Courageous Attempt to End the First World War
Jennifer Hobhouse Balme
In the Anglo-Boer War (1899–1902) Emily Hobhouse championed the cause of the women and children herded into camps by Kitchener’s army. Despite this setback, Emily continued in her mission to relieve the suffering caused by war, working tirelessly for the release of civilian prisoners and to secure better food for Belgium.
