That Bloody Woman - the turbulent life of Emily Hobhouse: Cornwall's forgotten heroine

John Hall

4.9/5 (14150 ratings)

Description:Now virtually forgotten, Emily Hobhouse was in her time one of the most controversial figures in the world, hailed as a second Joan of Arc or Florence Nightingale yet denounced as a traitor to her country. Joseph Chamberlain wondered if she poses a threat to the entire British Empire; to Lord Kitchener who ordered her forcible deportation from South Africa, she was always "that bloody woman"; to her friend Gandhi she was "one of the noblest of women". A restless spirit drove this handsome, highly-strung spinster from the genteel Cornish rectory of her birth. She tried to reform a wild frontier town in the American west, exposed the concentration camps set up by the British during their struggle with the Boers, and embarked on a secret peace mission to Berlin at the height of the First World War. It is a tragic but inspiring story. Emily Hobhouse's lonely death in her native land was followed by a state funeral on the other side of the world with thousands gathered to "bury her like a princess".We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
