| Description | Elizabeth Taylor Cadbury's notes refer to letters received by the International Council of Women from women in Austria-Hungary, Germany, Russia, France, Belgium, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Holland, Argentina, America, Canada and Australia. Her notes reveal that many of the letters expressed women's 'horror and detestation' at the First World War following its outbreak in 1914. Taylor Cadbury provides an overview of the content of the letters and the work that was being done in England 'to care for prisoners, and also for the wives and children of aliens.' Taylor Cadbury notes that the International Council had received 'warm acknowledgements' for their work. |
