EMILY HOBHOUSE: HERO FOR PEACE
IN TWO CANADIAN WARS
In the Great War, and Canada’s earlier adventure in
South Africa, there are largely unrecognized heroes
who never carried weapons. One such hero was
a woman the great leaders of England derisively
called a dumpy, hysterical spinster. She was much
more than that.
