Emily Hobhouse - Beloved Traitor

A fresh, nuanced look at an extraordinary woman and her lifelong fight for justice.
Defying the constraints of her gender and class, Emily Hobhouse travelled across continents and spoke out against oppression. A passionate pacifist and a feminist, she opposed both the 1899-1902 Anglo-Boer War and World War One, leading to accusations of treason. Despite saving thousands of lives in two wars, she died alone - an unsung hero in her own country.

    She was British and she fought for us. That made her a hero and l will stop by her grave in Bloemfontein when l pass there on my way to JHB in October.

    The sad part is that imperial Britain after raping and desolating and murdering never stood accused of committing war crimes.. And. neither didd they ever admit to the barbaric evil they had done to defense less women and children.. And they NEVER paid war reparations... How sick..!!! But their time will come when God almighty takes vengeance on them...
