WOMEN AT THE HAGUE (The Garland library of war and peace)

A dtw do p.5, PREFATORY NOTE THE following pages give an account of the International Congress of Women, convened at The Hague in A pril, 1915, and of the journeys undertaken by two delegations from that Congress. Much of the material has already appeared in The Survey, and is obviously journalistic in character. It may be of value, however, during these days of much war correspondence, as a report of European conditions from the point of view of that peace sentiment which survives in the midst of every war, but which is -not easily uncovered. If an apology were needed for putting such slight material into a book, it may be stated that the widespread interest in the separate articles seemed to justify presenting them in convenient form. It is further hoped that this recital by three American women may correct the impression made upon the public by the contradictory accounts given through the press, and that the reader may become interested in the official report of the Congress.(Typographical errors above are due to OCR software and don't occur in the book.)About the Publisher Forgotten Books is a publisher of historical writings, such as: Philosophy, Classics, Science, Religion, History, Folklore and Mythology.Forgotten Books' Classic Reprint Series utilizes the latest technology to regenerate facsimiles of historically important writings.
