Abstract

At a grand field-day meeting of the British section of the W.W.C.T.U., a public opening conference was held at Princes' Hall, on which occasion a number of female speakers addressed a predominantly female audience. The addresses were started by Lady Henry Somerset, who presided over the conference, stating the aims and achievements of the association. "Miss Frances Willard is under medical orders not to speak in public; but the temptation to say a few words on this eventful occasion was strong to be resisted." Afterwards Mrs. Andrew and Dr. Kate Bushnell spoke about their experiences of sufferings of Indians (particularly women) caused by British politics and the British Army. After them, Mrs. Josephine Butler added that that she hoped that the assembled would not only speak up for Indian women, but for all individuals who have suffered over the years, both living and dead.
