    1. [BP] EMILY HOBHOUSE - "THAT BLOODY WOMAN"
    2. Daniel Jacobs
    3. Beste Vriende Een van julle het nie dalk John Hall se boek That Bloody Woman - The Turbulent Life of Emily Hobhouse nie? Dit is 'n skaars boek. Daar is bv. nie 'n kopie in die Nasionale Biblioteek, Kaapstad nie. O.a. die volgende word by http://www.truranbooks.co.uk/aqshop/catalogue.php?id=46 oor die boek gese: That Bloody Woman is the story of a discarded heroine. 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. Lord Kitchener ordered her forcible deportation on a troopship and Joseph Chamberlain wondered if she posed a threat to the whole British Empire. But to her friend Mahatma Gandhi, one of a tiny minority who admired her pacifist campaigns through two wars, she was “one of the noblest and bravest of women”. Ek sal die boek uit Engeland bestel, maar benodig intussen redelik dringend inligting daaruit.
