She was so appalled by what was happening in Austria as a result of the First World War and what was happening to children who were part of the defeated families of Austria, that in Britain she wanted to take action, but she had to go house to house, leaflet to leaflet, to get people to attend a rally in the Royal Albert Hall that eventually gave birth to Save the Children, an international organization that is now fully recognized as one of the great institutions in our land and in the world.
Ela ficou tão chocada com o que estava acontecendo na Áustria depois da I Guerra Mundial e o que acontecia com as crianças das famílias derrotadas da Áustria, que na Grã-Bretanha ela quis agir, mas teve que ir de casa em casa, panfleto a panfleto, fazendo as pessoas irem a uma demonstração no Royal Albert Hall que acabou por fazer surgir a Save the Children, organização internacional que agora é reconhecida como uma grande instituição de nosso país e do mundo.
