The Woman Who Saved the Children (Centenary Edition): A Biography of Eglantyne Jebb: Founder of Save the Children, Paperback

This is an unconventional biography of an unconventional woman who did not care for children, but dedicated her life to establishing Save the Children and promoting her revolutionary concept of human rights. In this award-winning biography, Clare Mulley brings to life this beautiful, charismatic, and passionate woman, who helped save millions of lives and permanently changed the way the world treats children.

Clare Mulley joined Save the Children as a corporate fundraiser in the 1990s. She is the mother of three daughters and currently lives in Essex, UK.

While working as a fundraiser at Save the Children Clare Mulley came across a note written eighty years earlier by the organisation's founder: 'the world is not ungenerous, but unimaginative, and very busy'. She has since been fascinated by Eglantyne, sleeping in her childhood nursery, rifling through her journals, and even buying her signature on eBay.
